KING - Female Trio KING is a soulful, organic trio of young women here to bring a fresh creativity to music and change the world through their art. THE STORY began on an August afternoon in Los Angeles, or in a winter rehearsal session in Boston, or in April 1986 in Minneapolis, depending on how you define destiny. Twins Paris and Amber Strother began their musical journey by listening to favorites of their parents together from the crib, and once they were able to crawl found their way to the piano. Amber nurtured her gift for singing by absorbing everything musical around her, and in turn developed an intricate, magical tone and one-of-a-kind voice, as well as a unique skill for composition and songwriting. Through exploring a melting pot of artists, genres, musical ideas and movements, Paris found her own personal voice for the keys. The twins spent years unknowingly ripening their craft of writing together until they parted ways and left Minneapolis, with Amber to pursue studies in Chicago and Paris to enroll at music school in Boston where… A chance meeting with a young woman with a golden voice and incredible ear changed her life. Los Angeles native Anita Bias had fallen in love with music and art as a young girl, and spent years cultivating her voice, imaginative and vivid songwriting, and creative styling. Their Boston encounter stayed fresh in the minds of both, and when fate brought Paris to California and reunited them years later at a club in Los Angeles, they knew it was the start of something special. During Amber's first trip to LA and the living room session that followed, the three realized that they were born to create together. At the first show of the unofficial and then-unnamed band, they, along with the audience, were said to have seen fireworks in the air. The unique blend of voices, engaging harmony, and detailed songwriting the group exhibited came completely naturally to them. Amber, who had been since moved back to Minneapolis, sent for her belongings. KING was born.
THE STORY EP is KING's debut project, wherein all songs are written by Paris, Amber, and Anita, and fully produced by Paris. THE STORY, SUPERNATURAL, and HEY are the result of a year's worth of loving and learning, experiencing and experimenting, and ultimately finding the music within themselves.

I really dig these songs, but they from 2011. I wonder when they're going to release some new material. Thanks. | |

Good to see that they're on the upcoming Robert Glasper disc!
But I agree, I was hoping for a full length album from them!

This is the female group I read in the Concerts forum, who was one of the opening acts for Prince, at the LA forum shows last year, when Prince performed at the LA forum. That song "Supernatural" the singer sounds like the UK singer "Skye". [Edited 1/14/12 16:21pm] | |

A friend played me their EP a couple nights ago after we heard a local singer do a cover of Supernatural, and I really loved it. Very fresh sounding music. I'm hoping more music will be coming soon. If you will, so will I | |

I wonder why it happened like that. [Edited 1/15/12 11:29am] | |

Someone told me why but the reason didn't make any sense so I don't remember it.

I wasn't there that particular night, but several groups of friends were. That was the night there were rumours going around that The Time might open up for Prince. | |

Friends got all hyped up to see The Time (they weren't the OG 7 yet).
I was at that show. It seemed like the reason that King was set up to play in the exit stairwell was so Prince and the NPG could come onstage immediately after their set. At previous shows there was at least 30 mins. of prep. time between the opening act leaving the stage and Prince coming on, but at the final Forum show Prince came on probably less than 5 minutes after King finished. I assumed since it was the last show of the run that he wanted to maximize his time on stage.
