Kings

aka Kingdon Te Itinga Chapple-Wilson


Kings seemed to come out of nowhere with the breakthrough hit ‘Don’t Worry Bout It’, which dominated local radio throughout 2017. But the single was the culmination of years of hard mahi, which meant he had the depth of musical range to avoid being a one-hit wonder. His subsequent four albums produced tens of millions of streams, and set him up as one of Aotearoa’s biggest acts, both as a hip hop act and pop star.

All of this would’ve seemed improbable to anyone who saw Kings as a young teen, when he was already taking part in petty thefts and being sent to anger management classes. He needed to find a new way forward and the answer came through the love of his whānau.
