Adding his warm and colorful voice into the mix, King proves he is more than just a rapper. He is an artist who isn’t afraid to use his voice as his primary instrument, while taking the listener on a inside his imaginative mind.
No stranger to the insecurities attached to creating music, King undertook a musical journey that began at a young age. Studying his father’s clients at a local studio in his hometown, Rotterdam, King states that the occasional meet ups with legendary reggae stars, and the entrepreneurial environment he was raised in, fueled him to start creating music under his own moniker. In 2017 Angelo King plans to further establish himself abroad and to take whoever’s down along for the ride. With dreams of one day opening a youth center in Surinam, South America.
