Nathan King is a musician, singer and songwriter from Christchurch, New Zealand.

History

King's musical career began with his band Zed, who released two multi-platinum albums: Silencer (2000) and This Little Empire (2003). Zed toured in New Zealand, Australia and Europe, playing shows supporting acts like Robbie Williams, Coldplay, The Calling and Ash.

In 2001 he was nominated for the award of best songwriter and won the award as best male vocalist at the

New Zealand Music Awards.[1]

In 2005 King began a solo career after Zed decided to take an extended break.[2][3] His first solo album, The Crowd, produced by Brady Blade and Greg Haver,[4] was released in September 2008.[5] It debuted at #22 on the RIANZ New Zealand Album Chart, before reaching a peak of #14.[6]

In 2009 he took part at the 'Classic Hits Church Tour', alongside Greg Johnson, Boh Runga and others.[7][8][9]

In 2011 he formed a new group, 'Paper Plane', with his three touring band mates. Their first single, 'Enemies', was released in September 2011,[10][11] followed by 'Love Oh Love', and third single 'Yes Ma'am'. Unfortunately one of King's band mates suffered a broken neck during the filming of the video for 'Yes Ma'am', resulting in the footage being scrapped and a new video concept being developed and produced. Paper Plane disbanded in 2013 after another member was seriously injured in a car accident.

In 2014 King formed 'Twin Cities' alongside Andy Lynch (ex. Zed) and the duo released 'Worry No More' as their debut single. The video, featuring the pair rollerskating in a retro-throwback style clip, was filmed over the course of four days in Fiji. Their second single 'Greatest Ever' was released the following year. 'Greatest Ever' was licensed by KFC in an advertising campaign throughout New Zealand over the summer of 2016/17.
