DR King

DR King, born Donald Ray King, Jr., is an American recording artist and songwriter from Cleveland, Ohio. He competed in the Top 12 on Season 14 of NBC’s The Voice, as a member on Team Kelly Clarkson. His powerhouse vocals and wide range made him a quick fan favorite. His battle round with Jackie Foster made Voice history. King’s elimination from the Top 12 was described by The Voice as among “the most shocking eliminations in Voice history”.

After The Voice, DR King signed to Monocentric Music/ONErpm and released his debut single, “Love is a Drug” featuring fellow The Voice contestant Jackie Foster, in August 2018 to rave reviews. The duet and the entirety of King's upcoming EP "It's My Life" was co-penned by King, two-time Grammy winning songwriter/producer Marc Swersky (Joe Cocker, Kesha, Hillary Duff), and veteran songwriter Brielle Brown.

King was eliminated from The Voice on his coach Kelly Clarkson’s birthday. He describes the iconic singer as “generous, loving and real”. The two formed a close camaraderie during the show. “Trust your gift”, says King on continuing to create music and share it with the world. “I have to keep fighting and keep on believing. I’m not going to stop.”
