Nashville, TN (December 3, 2020) – Club44 Records is pleased to announce the signing of Nicolas King to its evolving roster of music business greats. 28-year-old King began his music career at the tender age of four and has shared the stage with music business royalty, including a 10-year stint on tour with the incomparable Liza Minnelli. Set for a January 2021 release, King’s project is a collection of songs he’s performed over the course of his career.
King expressed his enthusiasm about joining the fast-growing record label, “I am so happy to be teaming up with Club44 Records for what is, I hope, the first of many collaborations together. Putting this collection together was great fun, but having the marvelous Club44 team backing me is nothing short of an honor! I’m thrilled to be a part of their family.”
Label co-owner, Wayne Haun, echoed the sentiment, “I was first introduced to Nicolas King’s talent by a friend who bought me a ticket to a concert. I had a lot on my mind and a lot of work to do, and I wasn’t really in the mood for a concert. But by the time Nicolas was into his second verse, I didn’t care what was going on in the world. I was mesmerized. His ability to interpret a lyric, and the way he holds the audience in his hand, is effortless. I knew that night he needed a big seat at ‘The Club.’ We are so excited to represent him.”
King is joining a growing list of talented artists on the Club44 label, which includes notable artists such as Linda Lavin, Billy Stritch, Jane Monheit, Jim Caruso, Klea Blackhurst and Brian Eads. To learn more about Nicolas King, visit him online at www.thenicolasking.com.
