Five Questions with C.J. King

August 2, 2017

Last week, we sat down with Vegan Llamas to get to know them a little better. This week, we get the chance to know more about another Block Party artist that we all love – CJ King!

Where are you from?

I am from the hectic, traffic filled city of Atlanta, GA!

Where did you get your start in music?

I started in church playing drums. My dad is a musician and plays guitar, keys, and drums so I was always fascinated with music. I started singing in talent shows but there was one problem – I couldn’t sing if my mom’s life depended on it. That led me to give rap a try at one talent show and I ran with it from there.

What has been your most exciting career moment so far?

My most exciting career moment is a tie between when my single “SWRVN” was first played at the LU football games and when my band and I did our best show ever at Liberty’s Homecoming two years ago.

Where are you planning on taking your music?

I just moved to Atlanta after high interest was expressed by a few major labels so I am currently shaking a lot of hands and seeing what happens from there.

If you could see one person/band in concert (dead or alive), who would it be?

I would have to say James Brown hands down. I love how he controls the crowd and lets the music control him.

You can find CJ’s music on platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, Google, Amazon and any other digital outlet. You can also follow him on Instagram at “cjkingmusic”!
