'''Kaki King''' (born '''Katherine King''') is an American Georgia. As a child, her father encouraged her to be involved in music, and although she was first introduced to the guitar at a young age, the drums were her first serious instrument. King played in bands in high school with classmate and boyfriend Morgan Jahnig, upright bassist of busked in the New York subways.
King's style combines fret-tapping with slap bass techniques, as well as sound layering and looping, which creates a percussive and complex sound. Her playing style has been likened to that of Justin King, the two are not related.
