Elle King Biography

The American actress and singer Elle King was born in 1989 in Los Angeles, California. As the daughter of Saturday Night Live alumnus Rob Schneider, Elle was no stranger to the entertainment industry, and she even made her big screen debut alongside her father in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo at the age of ten. But King’s first love was always music, and as a young teenager she began to study guitar and banjo.

After graduating from high school she entered college to study film, but she also began to compose music, frequently using the banjo as her primary instrument of composition. By the time she was sixteen, she was performing around New York City, eventually garnering the attention of RCA Records. After signing with the label, Elle King released her debut single, “Good To Be A Man,” in the spring of 2012. The song preceded the release of the EP, the Elle King EP, which featured four songs, one of which, “Playing for Keeps,” went on to become the theme song for the VH1 series Mob Wives Chicago.

Throughout 2013, Elle King performed at a number of high profile events, including Austin’s South by Southwest Festival, and she toured in support of other performers such as Ed Sheeran. But her biggest breakthrough came with the release of her single “Ex’s & Oh’s” in the fall of 2014, which preceded the release of her debut album, Love Stuff. The single was a massive hit, rising into the top ten on the charts and earning King Grammy nominations for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance.

Elle King is a star on the rise and definitely one to watch. She is expected to release a follow-up album to Love Stuff within the coming year.
