Myles Kennedy is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, he originally began his musical career in Spokane, Washington as the guitarist in jazz band Cosmic Dust.[1] He formed alternative rock band Citizen Swing in 1992, which released two albums before breaking up in 1996.[2] Kennedy and Citizen Swing rhythm guitarist Craig Johnson moved onto The Mayfield Four in 1996, which released two albums during its six-year tenure.[3] Since early 2004, Kennedy's primary band has been Alter Bridge, which he founded with former Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Phillips.[1]
Outside of his bands, Kennedy has recorded with a range of artists including Big Wreck on "Breakthrough" in 2001,[4] Fozzy on "Nameless Faceless" in 2005,[5] and Sevendust on "Sorrow" in 2008.[6] In 2009, he recorded vocals for two songs on the eponymous debut solo album by former Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash, "Back from Cali" and "Starlight", released the following year.[7] He was later selected by Slash as the vocalist for his solo touring band.[8] Slash and Kennedy, along with The Conspirators (Todd Kerns and Brent Fitz), released Apocalyptic Love in 2012, which was written by the pair.[9] The following year, they collaborated on the title track for the Slash-produced film Nothing Left to Fear,[10] and in 2014 the collective released its second album World on Fire, which was again written by Slash and Kennedy.[11]
Kennedy continued to collaborate with other artists, featuring on the 2013 "guest version" of "Here's to Us" by Halestorm alongside Slash, Shinedown's Brent Smith, Sixx:A.M.'s James Michael, Theory of a Deadman's Tyler Connolly, Disturbed's David Draiman and In This Moment's Maria Brink.[12] Also in 2013, he collaborated with Gov't Mule on "Done Got Wise",[13] and in 2016 he recorded "Downfall" with Italian gothic metal band Lacuna Coil.[14] In 2018, Kennedy released his debut solo album Year of the Tiger, which was written entirely by the vocalist.[15] The third album by Slash, Kennedy and the Conspirators, Living the Dream, followed later in the year.[16]
