Heffron Drive was an American duo formed by Kendall Schmidt and Dustin Belt, both originally from Kansas. It was originally formed in 2008 after Kendall and Dustin met each other by chance and realized they lived on the same street, Heffron Drive, in Burbank, California.
History In 2008, Kendall Schmidt and Dustin Belt formed the band Heffron Drive. The name refers to the street on which both members lived, Heffron Drive, in Burbank, California. The duo began releasing music on MySpace and soon gained attention on the internet. However, in 2009, Schmidt joined the boyband Big Time Rush and Heffron Drive was on a break.
