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."{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/singer-elle-king-rob-schneiders-daughter-dropped-dads/story?id=34911637|publisher=ABC News|title=Why Singer Elle King, Rob Schneider's Daughter, Dropped Her Dad's Name|first=Andrea|last=Dresdale|date=November 2, 2015|accessdate=October 1, 2022}} 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.

Early life

Tanner Elle Schneider was born on July 3, 1989, in Los Angeles County, California, to American comedian and actor Rob Schneider and American model London King.{{cite web |url=https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/elle-king-posts-hopeful-message-28th-birthday/story?id=48425088 |title=Elle King posts hopeful message on her 28th birthday |last=Tuccillo |first=Andrea |publisher=ABC News |date=July 3, 2017 |access-date=July 15, 2018}}{{cite web |url=https://www.axs.com/the-top-10-best-elle-king-songs-90679 |title=The top 10 best Elle King songs |last=Wallace |first=Jeff |work=AXS |date=July 10, 2016 |access-date=July 15, 2018}}{{cite web |last=Weinberg |first=Jen |url=http://www.glamour.com/entertainment/blogs/obsessed/2012/07/elle-king-the-voice-behind-the.html |title=Elle King, the Voice Behind the Mob Wives Theme Song "Playing For Keeps" Talks to Us About True Blood, Pickle Backs, and Showgirls: Obsessed: Entertainment |website=Glamour.com |date=August 5, 2012 |access-date=September 7, 2012}} Her parents divorced when she was an infant and she and London moved to Ohio. She was raised in Columbus and Wellston. Her mother remarried Justin Tesa in 2000. When she was nine, her stepfather, Justin Tesa,{{cite web |title=Elle King – Biography |url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0773792/bio |website=IMDb.com |access-date=February 22, 2015}} 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. Around this time, she also started listening to the Runaways and Blondie, and she made her acting debut alongside her father in the movie Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.

At the age of 13, King started playing guitar, immersing herself in the music of Otis Redding, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, AC/DC (she has the phrase "dirty deeds" tattooed on her biceps), and Earl Scruggs. Her interest in the country and bluegrass of Hank Williams and Earl Scruggs inspired her to learn the banjo. During her teenage years, she attended Buck's Rock camp in Connecticut, where she starred successfully in a number of musicals.

King spent her teenage years in New York City, but she has also lived in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Copenhagen, Denmark. Upon graduating from Elisabeth Irwin High School/Little Red School House,{{cite web |title='Catch of the Day' - Dierks Bentley ft Elle King |url=http://klaw.com/catch-of-the-day-dierks-bentley-ft-elle-king-different-for-girls-audio/ |website=KLAW 101 - Oklahoma's Best Country |date=June 6, 2016 |access-date=May 11, 2017}} she moved to Philadelphia to enroll at the University of the Arts, studying painting and film. During these college years, she had an artistic epiphany seeing a live show where the band onstage used a banjo purely for accompaniment purposes, eschewing the bluegrass and country musical vocabulary traditionally associated with the instrument. King then began to use the banjo as a compositional tool. After college, she briefly lived in Copenhagen and Los Angeles, before moving back to New York. She currently lives in Nashville.{{Cite web |title=Cover Story: Elle King : Illinois Entertainer |url=https://illinoisentertainer.com/2023/01/cover-story-elle-king/ |access-date=2025-01-24 |website=illinoisentertainer.com}}

Career

In 1999, she debuted as an actress in her father's film Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. In 2005, at age 16, she started gigging around New York City, using a fake ID to gain entry to the local nightclubs. King immersed herself in the local songwriting scene and honed her performance skills by busking around town. King was then signed by newly appointed RCA Chairman Peter Edge.{{cite web |title=EP: Elle King's "The Elle King" |url=http://grungecake.com/ep-elle-kings-the-elle-king/articles/1196 |website=Grungecake.com |date=March 25, 2013 |access-date=May 11, 2017}} Her debut single "Good To Be A Man", was released on March 13, 2012, as a digital download and also as a 7" vinyl single. On June 12, 2012, the four-song The Elle King EP was released on RCA. The EP was recorded in New York and was produced by Andy Baldwin and Chris DeStefano, with King herself producing a track.

Musical style and influences

According to The Guardian, King's musical style is "steeped in every genre of vintage Americana – sassy rock'n'roll, vampy R&B, country sadness and a little blues."{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/oct/10/elle-king-live-review-exs-and-ohs-under-the-influence-good-to-be-a-man |title=Elle King review – dirt, depth and attitude |first=Kitty |last=Empire |date=October 10, 2015 |website=The Guardian |access-date=October 19, 2018}} King's music was classified as blues rock by Nylon,{{cite web |url=http://www.nylon.com/articles/song-premiere-elle-king-under-the-influence |title=Song Premiere: Elle King - "Under the Influence" |website=Nylon |date=December 9, 2014 |access-date=June 24, 2016}} and as alternative country by Alternative Nation.{{cite web |last=Mazzarone |first=Mike |url=http://www.alternativenation.net/elle-king-nathaniel-rateliff-andrew-mcmahon-play-heated-up-winter-jam/ |title=Elle King, Nathaniel Rateliff & Andrew McMahon Play Heated Up Winter Jam |website=Alternativenation.net |date=February 1, 2016 |access-date=June 24, 2016}} According to King, "I say that I sing a little bit of country blues, [...] it kind of changes from song to song, whatever I'm listening to or feeling. Sometimes it's really country, sometimes it's soulful, sometimes it's, like, wrist-slitting folk music; sad songs." She cited Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Otis Redding, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and AC/DC as her musical influences.{{cite magazine |last=Marcus |first=Bennett |url=http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2012/07/elle-king-qa-singing-in-the-shower |title="Playing for Keeps" Singer Elle King Uses Her Phone to Record Her Singing in the Shower |magazine=Vanity Fair |date=July 6, 2011 |access-date=September 7, 2012}}
