Emily King started making music in New York City, coming from a family background that kept her around it. Her first album, 'East Side Story,' came out in 2007 and got some good reviews, though it didn't break through commercially. She kept at it, playing smaller shows and putting out records like 'King' in 2011 and 'The Switch' in 2014.
A song from that 2014 album, 'Distance,' ended up getting more attention. It's one of those tracks people still mention. Her sound has shifted a bit over the records, pulling in some electronic touches and other rhythms. She's worked with other musicians like Esperanza Spalding and Mark Ronson along the way.
She released 'Scenery' in 2018 and 'Colors' in 2021. You can hear some of her other songs like 'Can't Hold Me' and 'Georgia' on her records. She tours when she can, playing her material live for people who've been following her work.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
