  • Kaki King

    Dubbed by Rolling Stone as "a genre unto herself," Brooklyn, NY-based Kaki King has proven to be just that. Her career has taken her all over the world, sharing stages with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, contributing music to award-winning films (Sean Penn's Into The Wild), and performing at the London Jazz Festival and the Paris Les Femmes s'en Melent. Her explorations into the guitar and multimedia have led to the creation of groundbreaking work such as The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body, Modern Yesterdays, and a new multi-media musical production for children called BUGS. Kaki continues to create, perform, and lend her musical voice to the forefront of contemporary music, as shown on her 2025 EP, Tutto Passa, and recent album, SEI, the soundtrack to a unique performance piece where guitarists become dancers, coordinating their whole bodies to perform the rigors of both choreography and composition. Endorsed by Ovation Guitars, Kaki released the EP Stop Sometime last August.

After graduating from Hiram College, he made his recording debut with Joe McBride and rose to international prominence through his work with Joey DeFrancesco, earning a GRAMMY® nomination for Project Freedom. Wilson has also toured with Christian McBride, who produced his acclaimed album "Vessels of Wood and Earth" for Brother Mister Productions.
