About Kaki King
Kaki King grew up in Atlanta and started out playing on the streets and subway platforms of New York before releasing her debut, Everybody Loves You, in 2003. Early records such as Legs to Make Us Longer were mostly instrumental and built around flat-picked and tapped acoustic guitar, often with the instrument laid across her lap.
Later albums brought in vocals, a band and electric guitar, and she contributed to the soundtrack for the film Into the Wild. Her 2015 project The Neck Is a Bridge to the Body turned the guitar into a projection surface, with the instrument and the imagery playing off each other as a single piece.
