An extraordinary and charismatic musician, Elle King possesses an incredible songwriting flare and an arresting voice in a category all her own - she also plays a mean banjo and guitar.

She has toured with Of Monsters and Men, Michael Kiwanuka, and Ed Sheeran, and many others. With the release of her well-received 4 track EP, simply titled THE ELLE KING EP. Elle made her television network debut with her single "Playing For Keeps" on the Late Show With David Letterman (Click here to watch her performance now on Letterman) which was also featured as the theme song for "Mob Wives Chicago" and chosen for the national TV ad campaign for "Mad Men." Click HERE to listen to THE ELLE KING EP on Soundcloud.
