Who is Kenna?
He was born in Addis Ababa and later moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia, with his parents. He quickly fell in love with American music and was especially inspired by U2's The Joshua Tree. His first album, New Sacred Cow, launched in 2003 and got two of his singles "Freetime" and "Hell Bent" noticed on MTV2.
John Grisham's left his trademark legal suspense thrillers behind to write a love song about football, Italy and Italian football. Playing for Pizza is Grisham's fourth lawyer-free work and his second football book. (The first was Bleachers, in 2003.)
