KING

Twins Paris and Amber Strother and musical sister Anita Bias are dream-pop trio KING. In 2011,KING independently released their debut EP to much acclaim- The Story, Supernatural, and Hey made up the 3-piece introduction to their carefully crafted sound. Fueled by word of mouth excitement and social media posts from supporters including Prince, Gilles Peterson, Erykah Badu, Solange, Nile Rodgers, Sam Sparro, Janelle Monae, Questlove and a host of others, their story and songs have spread wide and made new fans of many. Since the release of their initial EP, KINGhave been touring, performing as a headlining act to sold out crowds in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Chicago, London, and Amsterdam amidst a host of other US cities.

KINGs eclectic sound is relatable yet not simply defined. Though they play with the boundaries of their many influences, throughout each song is the common thread of a certain soulful authenticity. The smooth vibe, intricate production, and harmonic style of their music evolved beautifully in their home studio, a product solely of the three women and a result of their Minneapolis and Los Angeles roots.

Paris produces KINGs songs, while Amber and Anita are the primary singers. The three work together on songwriting and arrangements to create their unique sound, garnering such accolades as NPRs Song of the Day and 10 Songs Public Radio Cant Stop Playing, Billboards 10 Best R&B Songs of 2014, The Guardians New Band of the Day and Best Albums of 2013, Metro UKs Singles of the Week, Glamour Magazines 2013 Free Holiday Music Campaign, and the 55th GRAMMYAward for Move Love, their collaboration with Robert Glasper on his Best R&B Album Black Radio.
