About Derek King
Artist Biography
Cosigned by everyone from rapper Russ to pop superstar Billie Eilish, Bay Area R&B singer-songwriter Derek King brings hip-hop flavor to his unique sound.
• As a kid, King took up rapping as a hobby. He eventually switched to singing and began taking music more seriously.
• His 2014 debut project, Fake I.D., features fellow Bay Area artists Rayven Justice and IAMSU!, among others.
• King signed with 300 Entertainment and released a trio of singles—“Jump,” “Teasin’,” and “Don’t Do That”—before parting ways with the label.
• His 2018 single “Tetris” spawned the “Tetris Challenge,” a viral dance phenomenon that led to a memorable video of Billie Eilish grinding with a bag of bagels. The track spawned remixes featuring Russ and Rich The Kid.
• He returned in 2020 with two projects: Let’s Be Honest (featuring Bay Area rap legend E-40 on “2 Much”) and 25.
