Des Kennedy known as Honeyboy Des, is an extremely likeable man. Humble, down to earth and calm in nature, his message is one that encourages you to follow your dreams, and is sprinkled with gentle wisdom throughout.
Self confessed as 'totally blues', Des struck me as a life long learner and philosopher, someone who is constantly searching for meaning and ways to keep growing as a person. Born in the Andaman islands, schooled in the Nilgiri hills of southern India, he originally emigrated to Australia as a chef, before being taken over by a passion for blues music and a desire to follow that dream and develop a career as an independent artist.
During the conversation we discuss:
The origin of his stage name 'Honeyboy Des'.
How he got hooked on playing harmonica at age 30.
His discovery of a secondhand cd in a stereo that led to his bluesman journey.
His advice for overcoming the intimidation of stage fright when busking.
The importance of gaining and feeling acceptance in life.
