Tanner
Elle Schneider, aka Elle King, was born on July 3, 1989 in Los
Angeles, California to comedian Rob Schneider and model London King.
Not long after her birth her parents divorced and she was raised by
her mother and 2nd husband Justin Tesa. By the age of
9-years-old she knew that she wanted to be a musician after listening
to a record of the all-girl band the Donnas. The following year she
had her first acting experience when she had a small part in dads'
movie “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo”. By the age of 13-years-old
she was learning to play both guitar and banjo by studying the
techniques of some of the biggest artist in rock, blues, and country
music. Around the same time she started going to Buck's Rock Camp in
Philadelphia where she would hone her craft, star in musicals, and
meet other musicians.
In 2011 Elle
King signed her first recording contract with RCA. In March of
the following year she recorded her first single and was on her way
as a singer/songwriter. Since that time her career has been on the
fast track to stardom with several movie and television soundtracks
on her resume. This year she will be one of the artist featured on
the soundtrack of the reboot of the movie “Ghostbusters”.
- “Where the Devil Don't Go”: Co-written by Ms. King for her 2015 album “Love Stuff” it is a rather dark sound about living such a wicked life that even the Devil won't go where you have been. Ms. King shines in this quick-paced song.
- “I Told You I Was Mean”: Ms. King gives the song a folk rock feel with a slow rhythm. Written by Ms. King for her “Love Stuff” album it speaks about having a love 'em and leave 'em attitude that has her latest boyfriend in tears.
- “Kocaine Karolina”: Ms. King gives the song a country feel with her banjo playing. Another song co-written by Ms. King for her “Love Stuff” album.
- “Under the Influence”: Another song co-written by Ms. King for her “Love Stuff” album. It shows how well Ms. King can project a range of emotion through her voice in this song that compares longing for a loved one to waking up after being under the influence of alcohol.
- “Catch Us If You Can”: One of the two songs that Ms. King did for the soundtrack of the 2015 movie “Hot Pursuit”. Ms. King really rocks in this song about running from a corrupt system.
- “America's Sweetheart”: Jump on your feet and rock out to the sounds of Ms. King as she gives a powerful performance in this song about being the person you are and not trying to live up to what others want you to be. Yet another song co-written by Ms. King for her “Love Stuff” album.
- “Playing for Keeps”: Ms. King gives a strong performance in this song about giving up everything to gain fame only to be left with an empty feeling. In 2013 this was on the soundtrack for the television show “Enie Backt”.
- “American Girl”: Ms. King does a superb job of taking this Tom Petty & Heartbreaker song and making it her own. It talks of a girl raised in a sheltered life and told promise of how life is suppose to be only to find a complete different world.
- “Last Damn Night”: Ms. King can certainly belt out a tune as she gives powerful performance in this song about living life to its fullest. Yet another song she co-wrote for her 2015 album “Love Stuff”.
- “Ex's and Oh's”: Written by Ms. King for her 2015 album “Love Stuff” this song was also on the soundtrack for the television show “The Mysteries of Laura”. Ms. Kings draws from her own life talking about how several of her past boyfriends keep show up trying to re-kindle the relationship. This has been Ms. King's most successful song to date and earned her two Grammy nominations.
