King has quickly risen to prominence as one of country music’s most promising new voices, garnering over 300 million streams with hit singles such as ‘You In A Honky Tonk,’ ‘Hey Cowgirl’ and ‘Mirror, Mirror.’ His dedication to preserving the twang of traditional country music while infusing it with his own modern flair has earned him widespread acclaim, particularly through deeply personal projects like the 2020 EP Leanna and his major label album debut, Shot Glass, released in 2022.

‘Into The Neon’ features standout tracks such as ‘When My Baby’s in Boots’ and ‘Hard to Be Humble,’ showcasing King’s songwriting prowess. Collaborating with renowned songwriters like Trannie Anderson, Jordan Walker, Michael Carter, and Ben Hayslip, King’s latest album exemplifies his commitment to creating authentic and captivating country music.
Currently headlining shows across the United States, King also has tour dates scheduled across Europe later in 2024, promising fans an unforgettable live experience.
