Born and raised in Dallas, TX., singer/songwriter/performer KING grew
up listening to the Greats of Soul, Gospel, R&B, and Hip Hop that
rang out in his hou
se. Inspiring artist like The Roots, Otis Redding,
Jackie Wilson, Patti Labelle, Sugar Hill Gang, Run DMC, Mahalia Jackson
and Luther Vandross gave KING his introduction and musical foundation.
Even though he was raised with a traditional Southern upbringing, KING
developed a secret passion for Punk and Rock. KING studied such icons
as Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, Patti Smith, George Clinton, Rob
Halford, Corey Glover and Zach de la Rocha. A tough childhood and rough
teen years have informed and enlightened his songwriting, making his
lyrics topical and piercing. Those words combine with his soulful,
gritty vocals to make us stand up and take action. Whether you dance,
sing along or are moved to action, you never forget a KING show.
KING has rocked the The My Swagga Tour 2009, South Park Music Tour 2009
as well as opened for The South Austin Jug Band, The Desert Rocks
Festival, Frutia Fat Tire Festival and the Wells-Fargo Jazz Fest just
to name a few. KING was a finalist in Grand West KIA's 2007 Battle of
the Bands and a featured vocalist @ Rock Jam 2008 Southern Comfort Tent
w/ KID Rock. KING has also made appearances at such exclusive clubs in
NYC as The Bitter End, The China Club, The Cutting Room, and CBGB's.
King was also a featured Soloist at Carnegie Hall w/ Tia Carrere and
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland.
