Liam Kennedy-Clark
With a passion for music and a distinct lack of sporting finesse, it was only a matter of time before Liam Kennedy-Clark gravitated towards the musician’s life of recording studios, stages, long hours in the car, and late night servo dinners.
Having left high school and moved to Australia at the age of 17, it wasn’t long before Kennedy-Clark became an established professional musician, sharing stages with the likes of Lee Kernaghan, The Wolfe Brothers, Adam Harvey, Beccy Cole, and The Bushwackers.
In 2015, Liam become the youngest ever CMAA Academy mentor, a role he continues to hold, sharing his knowledge and insights of the music industry with up and coming young Artists.
Amongst all of this, Kennedy-Clark finds time for his solo career as a singer/songwriter. His passion? Finding new and innovative ways to express himself musically, an inclination clearly demonstrated in Liam’s latest album, “Another Habit”.
Whether as a singer, songwriter, producer, session musician, musical director or audio engineer, Liam takes any opportunity he can to pursue his musical path, anticipating many more live shows, 5 minute stage calls, broken strings, and hot box chicken wings.
