Kippenberger grew up in Pukerua Bay just north of Wellington and attended Kapiti College (formerly Raumati District High School). Kapiti College is also the same high school that produced film director Peter Jackson, former All Black Christian Cullen as well as several other well-known Kiwi musicians, including Ara Adams Tamata of Katchafire and Danny Rodda (Monkey Puzzle, The Rascal Kings).

After his 6th Form (year 12) year he left to attend Aotea College for his final high school year.
