Kevin Lynch was born in Dunedin, New Zealand. Music was always a central part of his life—starting with a late '60s school pop-band and progressing through the '70s with a top Dunedin band "Expence." This led to backing many New Zealand stars of the era and also to being involved as a musical director for the initial Telethons. A career in jingle writing developed during the '70s and '80s. He was also successful with several original songs in TVNZ song-writing competitions. Moving to Arrowtown in 1985, Lynch met up with artist and writer David John and a song-writing partnership was born. Lynch spent several years as an entertainer and has evolved into a successful comedy/music corporate act as "Len the Loser" both in New Zealand and overseas.
