Having been in the Phoenix music scene for a while, King has come to be a popular figure in the area. According to David Hilker, the CEO of Fervor Records, “Musically, she is a triple threat: an excellent pianist, exceptional vocalist and extraordinary songwriter. She commands a deep understanding of how to emote via all three.”

King is also great at providing her own twist on classic songs and has covered tunes by James Taylor, The Beatles, Chicago and Feist, among others.
Having a purpose in her music is important to King. She said that she wants it to be a source of inspiration, and she wants to inspire others to be happy. For King, music is what she believes she’s meant to do.
