Kenny Loggins was raised with two older brothers by Lina, who worked as a homemaker, and Robert George Loggins, a salesman. Before the family moved to Alhambra, California, they lived in Seattle and Detroit. Kenny matriculated in 1966 from San Gabriel Mission High School, after which he formed the band Second Helping, but which was short-lived and released only three singles between 1968 and 1969. Still, with that move, his net worth was established.
Kenny`s professional career really began in 1970, when he met up with Jim Messina, and the two began working on Kenny`s first solo album, which was to be released through the ABC-Dunhill, however, by the end of the recording process of the album, Messina and Kenny had become a duo, with a name Loggins and Messina. The two released six studio albums, before they decided to pursue solo careers in 1976. Some of the albums include “Sittin` In” (1971), which was their first album, “Full Sail” (1973), “Mother Lode” (1974), and “Native Sons” (1976), the sales of which increased Kenny`s net worth.
Kenny continued to produce music on his own, and his first album came out in 1977, entitled “Celebrate Me Home”, which eventually achieved platinum status, having been sold more than one million copies. His second album came out the following year, entitled “Nightwatch”, which reached the US top 200 chart at No. 7, and it also reached platinum status, increasing further Kenny`s net worth.
In the following years, Kenny`s popularity rose remarkably, making him one of the greatest musicians through the 1980s, with such albums as “High Adventure” (1982), and “Vox Humana” (1985), and singles “Footloose”, “Danger Zone”, and “Nobody`s Fool. Some of his songs were written exclusively as soundtracks for films such as “Footloose”, “Danger Zone” for the blockbuster film “Top Gun” (1986), and “Meet Me Half Way”, which can be heard on the soundtrack for the film “Over The Top” (1987), all of which added to his net worth.
Kenny`s popularity began to drop in the 1990s, and except for the albums “Leap Of Faith” (1991), and “Return To Pooh Corner”, which went platinum and gold, he had little success.
So far he has released 13 solo albums – except for the ones already mentioned, some of his albums include “The Unimaginable Life” (1997), “It`s About Time” (2003), and his latest release “All Join In” (2009).
