Elle King’s Influences and Early Beginnings

Elle King has hit it big with her hit “Ex’s and Oh’s” and now we’re left sitting here waiting for more! What will be the next big hit from Elle?! While we’re waiting, let’s take a look at a few things you may not have known about the singer born in Los Angeles, California.

By now, everyone knows she’s the daughter of Rob Schneider, but what else is unique about her? Well, a very powerful moment in her life was when she was nine living in southern Ohio. Her step-father gave her an album from The Donnas and the rest was history. The Donnas were a very influential force in her decision to be a musician.

Another influential band was AC/DC! They were so influential that she got the band’s logo tattooed on her arm.

Elle has stayed busy since her beginnings as a musician and has opened for many talented acts. Some of these musicians include Of Monsters and Men, Dashboard Confessional, Ed Sheeran, James Bay, Modest Mouse, and Train.

While Elle didn’t come away with a Grammy this past Grammy Awards, she made a huge mark on the rock scene and will surely come away with one by the time everything is said and done.
