Early life

Dom Kennedy was born in Los Angeles, California, on August 22, 1984. Kennedy describes his growing up as "normal." Following his parents' divorce, Kennedy and his mother moved to Leimert Park with his mother. To remain safe and out of danger, Kennedy played baseball to get out of the inner city. From the age of five to the age of 16, he played basketball every day. Kennedy enrolled in Santa Monica College, a two-year junior college in California, majoring in business administration, after graduating from Santa Monica high school. Dom gave his explanation about why he enrolled college and what his plan B would be in an interview with Dr. Josh Hamilton in October 2012.

"While I was there, I concentrated mainly on company administration rather than really thinking about music, but not so much so about life." You know, like hell if I wasn't rapping or doing something with music, that was right where I imagined myself in the world. I always wished to be an entrepreneur, but many people have aspirations, but I suspect I might as well learn about company structure or even find out who's employment."
