KAT KING MUSIC

Kat King's career started as far back as 2nd grade in small town Kansas. Accompanied by her acoustic guitar and piano in her early career, Kat tugged at the heartstrings of listeners with her clever and cryptic in-the-closet love ballads. As a solo singer-songwriter act, she produced one 13-song album and three EP's, the first one released at the age of 14.

Now based in Kansas City, Kat King graduated into a 5-piece indie-pop rock group who've drawn a loyal following, packing out crowds around the city. The group has released one EP and multiple singles together - a number of them on local radio stations' regular rotation - and their infectious energy has landed them on some of Kansas City's biggest stages. Through themed shows, dancey covers and melodies that won't leave your brain, they continue to make a name for themselves in the area.

Kat King's career started as far back as 2nd grade in small town Kansas. Accompanied by her acoustic guitar and piano in her early career, Kat tugged at the heartstrings of listeners with her clever and cryptic in-the-closet ballads. As a solo singer-songwriter act, she produced one 13-song album and three EP's, the first one released at the age of 14. Now based in Kansas City, Kat King graduated into a 5-piece indie-pop rock group who’ve released a five-song EP and two singles together.

In April of 2021, they dropped their first single together titled “Don’t Wanna Lose.” The tune made it into regular rotation on Kansas City’s local station 90.9 The Bridge. It was later voted in at second place for The Bridge’s listeners choice of Best Songs of 2021.

“Now, with the release of this EP, her piano-based singer-songwriter talents have graduated into an impressively recorded and produced pop artist.”

— Sophie Johnson, Manor Blog

On June 9th, the group released their first 5-song EP together titled “Say What You Mean.” The EP captures audiences with feelings of love, loss, and self-acceptance while simultaneously inviting listeners to get up and dance. Sophie Johnson of Manor Records states in her review that “listening to this EP feels like you have heard one of the most entertaining and cleverly written stories about a period of Kat's life.”

The band experienced significant momentum throughout 2022 after releasing their single New Sun, another tune to quickly make its way into regular rotation on The Bridge. They played Boulevardia (KC's biggest music festival) which left an aftermath of talk for pulling a packed pit of fans dancing and singing along. This landed them the local headlining spot for KC's Plaza Art Fair, which again blossomed into an energetic pit that warranted passerby attention.  Their following single, With Nothing in My Way, was described as “a superlative sad banger” by Nick Spacek of The Pitch and they've quickly made a name for themselves as a KC crowd favorite.

Through different musical projects, Kat has shared the stage with an impressive list of artists including Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, The Beths, Michigander, Creed Bratton, Houndmouth, Nathaniel Rateliff, Leon Bridges, War and Treaty, Ohmme, Lomelda, and Eliza & the Delusionals.

Sophie Johnson of Manor Records says King is “highly regarded for her ability to hustle in the music scene.” She’s known to bounce from a multitude of instruments, the most recent addition being the keytar. As a sought after musician, she’s accompanied many acts from keys to lead guitar, the latest being Katy Guillen and The Drive.
