Swedish songwriter, architect and lecturer. Kenneth wrote almost all texts to his younger brother Ted Gärdestad's songs, except for "Viking" that Ted wrote together with their older brother Kjell Gärdestad. Together with Keijo Liimatain, Kenneth wrote the book I want my own moon (2005) about Ted Gärdestad. He was also one of the initiators of the Ted Gerdestad grant, which was awarded the first time in 1999. After the death of his brother Ted, he was actively working to educate and understand mental illness from an affiliate perspective.

In 2008 he participated in Doobidoo together with Lotta Engberg. In the Melodifestival 2010, he competed as a songwriter for the song "How can I believe in love" that Tony Malm and Niclas Lundin had written the music to. Erik Linder performed the song during delfinal three in Gothenburg. It ended in fifth place and was thus knocked out.

Kenneth was the chief architect at the Knowledge School and designed and designed the schools' premises.
