About Elle King
Tanner Elle Schneider (born July 3, 1989), known professionally as Elle King, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Her musical style is influenced by country, rock, and blues. She signed with RCA Records to release her debut extended play, The Elle King EP (2012); one of its tracks, "Playing for Keeps", became the theme song for VH1's Mob Wives Chicago series. King's debut studio album, Love Stuff (2015), was led by the single "Ex's & Oh's", which peaked within the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for two Grammy Awards. Her 2021 single, "Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)" (with Miranda Lambert), peaked within the chart's top 40 and preceded the release of her third album, Come Get Your Wife (2023). She has also toured with acts such as Of Monsters and Men, Train, James Bay, The Chicks, Heart, Joan Jett, Michael Kiwanuka, and Miranda Lambert. Her parents are actor and comedian Rob Schneider and former model London King. She uses her mother's surname to distinguish herself and her career and identity from her father's, telling ABC News that "I think that my voice and my music speaks for itself: that I am my own person." King is a four-time Grammy Award nominee, two each in the rock and country categories, and received honors from the Country Music Association Awards and the Academy of Country Music Awards. The song reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming King's first top ten single in the United States. "Ex's & Oh's" received two nominations at the 58th Grammy Awards: Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song. When she was nine her stepfather gave her a record by all-female hard-rock band the Donnas; she views this as the pivotal moment when she decided she wanted to be a musician. The EP was recorded in New York and was produced by Andy Baldwin and Chris DeStefano, with King herself producing a track.
