AT JUST 24 years old, Leoni Jane Kennedy already has some seriously impressive achievements under her belt. Music has always been in her life, and despite not having a particularly musical family, she discovered the guitar from an early age.
“I was initially invested because I was just a kid and intrigued by the actual instrument, but that eventually led to me getting into heavy rock groups. My first concert was Status Quo,” she says. “When I got to about 11, my mum took me to pubs for jam nights, which were just groups of 60-year-old men playing old-school rock every Thursday night. I loved it.”
