Singer, songwriter and multi-Instrumentalist Jaye King blends feel-good funk, smooth R&B and enthusiastic Gospel with lyrics that are fueled by high optimism and an unshakable belief in a God who is in the business of redemption.
A professional level drummer, bass guitar and keys player whose charisma and musical giftings are more than matched by his heart for family, the local church and his mission to spread the hope of the Gospel, King’s triumphant introductory single from Centricity Music, “Hard Place,” turns the familiar “rock and a hard place” idiom on its head with personal depth set to a soulful, pop-centric groove.
King’s remarkable, original music speaks to the heart of a kid without a dad present in his life, but grew into a man who can’t help but tell others about his Heavenly Father. The Bradenton, Florida (Tampa) native and current Nashville area-based resident’s story is both messy and miraculous. Given his upbringing, one might assume that he’d be guarded, but instead, King is surprisingly an open book. His melodies are as big and bold as his personality, but his lyrics are as intimate as his prayers.
Recently playing keys and providing background vocals for Tasha Layton and Jonathan Traylor on tour, King’s love of entertainers like Michael Jackson and Bruno Mars is channeled into his live show.
