Tanner Elle Schneider (born July 3, 1989), known professionally as Elle King, is an American singer, musician, songwriter, and actress. Her musical style is influenced by country, rock, and blues.[1]
In 2012, King made her debut on RCA Records with the release of The Elle King EP; one track from that EP, "Playing for Keeps", became the theme song for VH1's Mob Wives Chicago series.[2]
King's debut album, Love Stuff, was issued by RCA in 2015. The album included a US top ten single "Ex's & Oh's", which earned her two Grammy Award nominations. King 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."[3]
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.
