Triple Star Sound Stage Presents Grammy Nominee, Emily King, Live!



King may be just 23 years old, but this girl is a throwback to another era. Since her debut album, East Side Story, King has been nominated for a Grammy, toured with an array of decorated artists from John Legend to Alicia Keys, and brought a unique beauty and honesty to audiences all over the world. Her J Records debut, East Side Story, was wonderfully received, gaining rave reviews, fans from all different walks of life, and to top it off, a Grammy Nomination for the Best Urban Contemporary Album of the Year in 2008. The music on the album reveals roots that are deep and ambitions that are grand. In conversation, King's words are packed with references to the wide range of great artists that inspired her - the Beatles and Miles Davis, Mary J. Blige and Radiohead, Michael Jackson and Neil Young. "Every record that I've ever heard has been an influence on me," she says.

As the daughter of two singers - one Italian, one African-American - who performed internationally as a jazz duo, King was exposed to music, its challenges, and its rewards from an early age. She always knew she would follow in her parents' footsteps. King eventually discovered producer Chucky Thompson, a member of Bad Boy Entertainment's famed Hitman studio team who had recorded smashes with the likes of the Notorious B.I.G. and Mary J. Blige. Together they began searching for the right sound to capture King's eclectic tastes and styles. After taking her demos to various labels, they signed with J Records and began the process of making a real album. The album's line-up of songs, King says, feels like a true reflection of her - a portrait of the artist as a young lady.

Unable to be contained by any one category, Emily King represents the best of what our musical future might look like. Rather than concentrate on the differences between hip-hop and rock, party music and protest music, black and white, she's committing herself to finding common ground. "I'm just finding my own culture within myself," she says. "We have a lot of division in our society, but I was never raised like that. I hope that what I'm doing right now is going to bring a lot of people together.
