King Youngblood is focused on reclaiming rock music, specifically black-fronted rock packed with strong songwriting, Afropunk attitude, and an undeniable exhilarating live show. Alternative Press calls King Youngblood “Seattle’s Alt Rock Princes” - they sure got that right. Twenty-three-year-old founder and frontman Cameron Lavi-Jones, along with, drummer Paul "Styx" Stoot, cellist Chet Peterson, and bassist Sammy Garcia have a singular mission: grab heavy guitar/drums rock by the collar and drag it into the willing arms of the fresh new generation of fans currently fueling the world-wide resurgence of rock music.
A strong belief in doing what is right lies at the core of what drives Lavi-Jones and his band. A second-generation Black/Jewish activist whose father was a member of the Black Panther Party, King Youngblood is here to put the world on notice that there is an army of dedicated, progressive young people determined to change the course of world history, one note at a time. That belief seeps into his creative expressions as a musician, an activist, and as a human. Lavi-Jones: “As a black Jew, I’ve been incredibly lucky to grow up with a sense of pride in who I am and my dual cultures, without ever having to look at them as opposite sides of a coin. People that look like me have spent too much time being shoved in the shadows. I have something to say, and I am grateful my songs and my band give me the forum to speak my mind and lift up others.”
