Support Women Artists Sunday: Elle King

So I came across Elle King this week pretty unexpectedly by browsing through Jezebel. And...well, you'll see.

The fashionable 19-year-old Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter’s piercing voice and heartfelt lyrics will captivate you. “I feel completely at home when I’m performing, and it gives me the biggest rush,” she said. “So, I’ve pretty much always known I wanted to be a performer.” King, who was born in Los Angeles “to some crazy, wonderful parents,” moved to New York when she was 11 years old. “My amazing step-dad was the lead singer in a kick-ass band called Bob City,” she said. “He was from New York, so he moved us with him.” King, who just finished her “pretty outrageous” first year of college, explained that he was the one who put a guitar in her hands.“I practiced until my fingers bled and sang until my voice went out,” said King, who has been writing music since she was 13 years old.

She will be rerecording her songs and dropping an album as soon as she can, she said. “Music brings me happiness, and I want to feel this way forever,” she said. “I think that means that I’ll be singing and performing for a long time.”
