It’s been a busy year for York’s very own RnB princess: Kymberley Kennedy. When she’s not taking over the BBC’s Maida Vale studio, she’s been performing alongside legends such as Morcheeba and Tricky, and she’s still had time to record and release a 12-track mixtape. We caught up with Kymberley to talk dream headliners, her first experience of Nando’s and her York favourites.
