Growing up in both the cities of Long Beach & Carson, CA, Dread Kennedy has always been connected to music through his culture. As a Polynesian, of Samoan descent, language, music, and dance has always been three of the biggest representations of his roots. As the lead singer for a Southern California band, named @ItalVibes and vocalist in @JoshHeinrichs, Voltron band, Dread Kennedy has since broadened his talents to become quite the all-around Artist. Adding the ukulele, guitar, bass, piano, and drums to his repertoire it was only a matter of time before he would embark on a road as a solo artist releasing his first single, “Mr. Music Man” on Oct. 26th, 2018. Along with his gifted vocal, songwriting, and freestyle abilities, Dread Kennedy delivers a performance that will have you dancing the night away and still wanting more. He has gained the recognition and support from his peers, as it is not, uncommon to see artists such as @CollieBuddz, @JoshHeinrichs, @FortunateYouth, @TribalSeeds, and a legend like @PatoBanton pull him on stage for a family jam and toasting session. Having Performed at major west coast festivals such as One Love Cali Reggae Fest, Reggae on the Mountain, to only name a couple, it is safe to say that Dread Kennedy was born for the stage and "Mr. Music Man" for the masses. With a want and drive to impact the masses, Dread Kennedy is paving his way into musical reggae history one heart at a time.
