Alex Kennon Live In Bangalore

Alex Kennon has always been surrounded by great music. As a child, he was classically trained on the Spanish guitar and was, by his own admission, “really good!” Playing for ten years, it not only made Alex focused, it also allowed him to be disciplined because he would play at least two hours a day. Alex was inspired by powerful songs from Genesis and Led Zeppelin alike. But the biggest influence from his father was soul/funky music. “His first love was Earth, Wind and Fire, funk groups with fifteen elements!” Alex also breathed in fumes from his father’s vinyl collection, which was mainly English rock and new wave. It’s a collection he still has today. “I have a lot of vinyl,” he smiles. “My father used to travel and worked as military pilot and would bring records back home. For example, he brought back ‘Disintegration’ [by The Cure] and it was my first electronic love. I was super-young but they nailed the melodic, melodic sound and it hit me in the bottom of my heart. It shook my brain with music and their image.
