Abraham Kenny

Abraham Kenny (aka Kinglake, The Diamond Blow, Ylisten) is an artist originally from Victoria, Australia. For the past decade he has been living in Tallinn's abandoned concert hall (Linnahall).
Within this pyramid of decomposing limestone compiled for the 1980 Moscow Olympics, he makes his music and videos in the empty 4500 seat arena, often venturing out to play gigs throughout Eastern Europe. In 2023 and 2024 he completed two tours of Ukraine in solidarity with the Ukrainian people's struggle against Russia's invasion.

​Five years of his childhood were spent wandering the eerie bush lands surrounding the sporadic outposts of hippies in the back-water town of Kinglake, Australia.
Starting as a drummer, he studied briefly at the prestigious Victorian College Of The Arts, won second place in Australia's Best Up And Coming Drummer Competition before leaving to pursue his own musical vision as a pianist and vocalist. Recording an album by the name of Ylisten in 2007 he moved with 100 copies to Stockholm, Sweden where he lived for two years, working as a postman and performing a few shows before eventually moving Eastwards across the Baltic Sea.
