Life Like This

A favourite of mine that I wrote around 2014. Hope you enjoy!

Acoustic Demo's MP3

Wait

A slightly more upbeat track of mine from around 2016.

Sensations

A different beat to my normal style, slight country twang in places and i'm told it has elements of 'Rush'  who i'm mad about, so thats a good thing! Enjoy!

Everyday

Feathers falling down

Written around 2012, I performed this in the Houses of Parliament when I was 14. Enjoy!

Leave me be

This was written in 2011, still a favourite so i recorded it again as my voice has matured since then! I hope you enjoy this acoustic version.

Anatomy (Acoustic 2018)

An award winning song of mine written in 2017 for entry into the Pearson Education BTEC Awards. My song won from all the UK entries. This is the original acoustic version, how all my songs begin. Enjoy.

Look to the future

Written in 2015, this is one of my favourites.

Gone for the night

You Have The Power (Lyrics & music by Leoni Jane Kennedy 2018)

This silence is louder than my breath, the words they fail to speak relieves them of death,
My hope, is that people will soon see, the world that they’ve created, is ruined and diseased, 
We wont forget your promises, the lies you have told are endless, and still they trust in you,
I’m taking a stand to end this, forget what they say they're powerless, 
I will do what I have to do

You have the power, you have the voice, you make the choice at which decides our fate, a second chance for me we stand together, we will be brave, we’ll rise above the blood and smokey skies just quit your lies you know that we won’t take it, your words could change my life.

You know what they're doing, you know they doing, refusing to tell the rest, refusing to tell the rest, We’re broken
Without complication, without complication ,manipulation manipulation, is what they do best
I wont let these demons break you down, it’s just a game but we’ll take the crown

You have the power, you have the voice, you make the choice at which decides our fate, a second chance for me we stand together, we will be brave, we’ll rise above the blood and smokey skies just quit your lies you know that we won’t take it, your words could change my life.

(Audio speeches)

You have the power, you have the voice, you make the choice at which decides our fate, a second chance for me we stand together, we will be brave, we’ll rise above the blood and smokey skies just quit your lies you know that we won’t take it, your words could change my life.

You Have The Power

Leoni Jane Kennedy is a Blackpool born, Guildford based singer-songwriter, often described as 'haunting' by her audiences. With intricate guitar riffs alongside powerful, soulful vocals, she is achieving a new rock sound with progressive influence in her rhythmic and melodic structures and lyrics that surpass her years. Leoni was hooked on blues rock from a young age after being gifted a CD of Status Quo. Their greatest hits album was stuck on repeat until 2011, when she finally got to see the band live at Lytham Proms. Leoni is also influenced by the likes of Rush, King Crimson, Blue Öyster Cult and many bands from a diverse range of genres. 

In 2013, Leoni entered a competition called 'Rock The House'. She passed the audition stage and was invited to perform at The Bedford in Balham, a venue which has been pivotal in the early careers of Ed Sheeran and Paolo Nutini, to name a few. From this competition, Leoni received an artist sponsorship from Yamaha and was endorsed by Orange Amplification, and in her later years, also received endorsements from PRS Guitars and Boss Pedals. At The Bedford, Leoni met multiple industry creatives, such as veteran Iron Maiden keyboard player, Tony Moore.

“ Leoni has fantastic talents that belie her young age and I see enormous potential for her to have a long and successful career in this business. ”

In 2018, Leoni moved south and began studying the Music Industry Practice degree at ACM Guildford. She was chosen by 'Queen's’ Brian May and Roger Taylor to receive the 'Freddie Mercury' Scholarship, covering her entire university tuition fees. This Scholarship saw the previous year's winner, along with Leoni and ACM alumni pianist, recording a cover of Queen song 'The Show Must Go On' at Metropolis Studios in London where Freddie's piano has been kept since his passing. Leoni and the team also joined Youtube in the tunnels of London's underground stations, performing Queen songs in celebration of the film release - they later attended as VIP guests at the World Premier of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' at Wembley's SSE Arena.

During summer 2019, Leoni and her band went into ACM's SSL studio with producer of Motörhead and Uriah Heep, John Gallen, who had previously taught Leoni for production classes and recorded some solo acoustic songs prior to the full band recordings. John was teaching production lectures whilst using the trio as the demonstration band, which resulted in a live album consisting of 7 songs and Leoni's latest single "Life Like This". Leoni graduated in 2020 with a 1st Class BA Honours Degree in Music Industry Practice and is currently working part time for ACM Guildford and her local music venue, The Boileroom.
