About Kenny Loggins
Kenny Loggins’ remarkable career spans four decades and has brought him from the top of the charts to the Grammys. He’s had smash hits on Hollywood’s favorite soundtracks, rocked worldwide stages, and found his way into children’s hearts while bringing his soulful, beautiful voice to platinum albums in a stunning variety of genres. His gift for crafting deeply emotional music is unparalleled, and it’s been a part of his life as long as he can remember. Although Loggins has 12 platinum albums, a pair of Grammys, and hits on almost all the Billboard charts under his belt, he’s far from done. With more Blue Sky Riders (his newest project) tunes in the works, he’s still looking forward to what’s next. “I’ve been lucky that I love what I do and I get to keep doing it,” he says. Loggins has a newsletter and is active on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook with many thousands of followers.
