King was born Emily Cowings to an international jazz duo, Marion Cowings and Kim Kalesti. Emily and her brother were always exposed to music, especially jazz and classical sounds during their childhood. "It was an amazing experience," she says. "It was very challenging. We went from the fanciest hotels one day, to the dirtiest motels the next day -- you know, just living off a musicians paycheck. Also, being around so much incredible music. We were in the jazz world so I was with Dizzy Gillespie one day to Clark Terry the next day.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Didn't really like this song at first but it has grown on me! That bridge just gives me goosebumps (the good kind!)
To be honest this song sounds very unconventional and unique, and I think it is better if only POWER CHORDS are played when you play alone. To my ear, when the whole chord is played it doesn't sound 100% right
Then again maybe I'm just a noob and can't figure it out, There is the thumping bass and many backing layers and tracks of Emily's voice to fill out the song, which I can't really note down in chords. Either way, this is how I play it.
