New York. London. LA. Firebrand. Punk. Renegade. Bold-faced icon. Startling songwriter. Grammy nominee. Pop sensation. Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association Award winner. Record setter. Brash live force. Brazen recording artist. Spider monkey on a tear. No wonder Elle King is hotter than a pepper sprout.
Elle King is real about who she is. Real about where she comes from. For King, who came by banjo honest and isn’t afraid to tell the truth about where she comes from, it’s pretty simple. “It’s that hard [stuff] people in the nowhere know and deal with that I wrote about. It’s a connection between me and all of those people...I wanted to show people, people who’re like me, who may’ve been lost or turned away, you’re not alone. We see you.”
