Ep. 223 King Sis

Sis is a Los Angeles, CA-based artist (originally from the DMV) who began singing and dancing at the age of 7 in her grandfather's church in Alexandria, VA. Growing up in a musical family, and having been taught to play the classical piano at the age of 8 by her cousin, Dt Lamont, songwriting and performing came naturally to her. Being somewhat shy, Sis always found confidence and refuge in the comfort of poetry and songwriting and developed an inseparable relationship with music. She became interested in the recording arts after completing her first job at 9, doing voiceover work for BET commercials.

She first sang on studio recordings in a high school acapella group, Flint Hill Major Minors, and continued her early career as a recording artist with commissioned projects such as theme music for local radio shows and comedians, and songs for local special events. While studying art in college, she started two gospel groups with childhood friends, REIGN & His City, and began performing across the DMV area. In 2015, Sis won 1st place at Amateur Night at the legendary Apollo Theater in NYC and instantly knew she was born to perform. After moving to Los Angeles, Sis continued performing as a world-touring background vocalist, working with prominent artists such as Kelela. Her songwriting centers around love, self-affirmation, and a return to the natural world in a modern life filled with virtual realities.
