Endorsed by Yamaha, PRS Guitars Europe, Orange Amplification, Boss Effects Pedals, and members of the rock band Queen, 18 year old Leoni is a multi award winning singer-songwriter, multi instrumentalist and budding music producer from the UK. Since beginning her musical career at the unbelievable age of eleven, emerging artist Leoni Jane Kennedy has already achieved an enormous amount. Winning multiple awards for songwriting, Leoni outshone 450 contestants and was crowned the UK's number one under 19's singer-songwriter at London’s 'Rock the House' competition when she was only 13. Leoni has also won multiple prestigious young performers awards where she outshone the competition on all occasions. In September 2018, Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor chose Leoni from hundreds of applicants to receive a full university scholarship set up in Freddie Mercury’s memory, to enable her to attend the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford free of tuition fees, stating that “Leoni’s unique and beautiful artistry was a perfect fit for Freddie’s memory”. With the ability to play acoustic and electric guitars, drums and bass guitar, sing, write and produce her own songs using logic and midi. With hundreds of live gigs under her belt and her first live radio performance at the age of 13, this is only the beginning of her ‘one to watch’ career. Described as haunting and mesmerising by many that see her, Leoni has her own style of playing that ranges from solo acoustic fingerpicking to lead guitar solos and rock ballads. The ability to write, sing record and produce her own material, for a solo artist, band or commercial brief, means that Leoni is a one stop shop for any requirements. A fantastic work ethic for such a young musician means that her work is highly recommended by all that know her. Photo by Al Myerscough
