Biography

Composer / Producer

In the late eighties, King began composing and producing electronic music, influenced by Herbie Hancock, Sun Ra and Vangelis.

In 1990, the legendary label Strictly Rhythm released "Tribal Confusion," the first commercial success. Recognizing his potential, King and cohort Josh Wink founded Ovum Recordings, which introduced budding phenom poet Ursula Rucker to a global audience. Within this label, King produced the albums.

When the Funk Hits the Fan, and Re-Members Only (featuring Grover Washington Jr., De La Soul, Kathy Sledge, and others). Ovum laid the foundation for King's music production, though he ultimately left to pursue his growing sonic interests that included a broad range of genres, emerging and preeminent artists, and distinctive record labels. With this astute decision, King's solo work and remixes became integral to the changing landscape of dance music. Josh One "Contemplation" (King Britt Funke Mix) has become an Ibiza anthem along with Gus Gus "David" (King Britt Scuba Mix) and H-Foundation "Tonight" (King Britt Scuba Mix).

In 2006 director Michael Mann approached King to underscore several scenes for Miami Vice; King enthusiastically accepted. This opportunity led to composing/licensing music for Rolex, HBO's True Blood, Ava DuVernay's Queen Sugar, and others.
