Elle King Education
After graduating from Elisabeth Irwin High School/Little Red School House, King relocated to Philadelphia to study painting and film at the University of the Arts. During her college years, she had an artistic epiphany while watching a live performance in which the band onstage used a banjo solely for accompaniment, eschewing the bluegrass and country musical vocabulary traditionally associated with the instrument. The banjo was then used as a compositional tool by King. She briefly lived in Copenhagen and Los Angeles after college before returning to New York, where she now resides in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

King is 34 years old as of 2023. She was born on 3 July 1989 in Los Angeles, California, United States. She celebrates her birthday on 3 July. King stands at a height of 5 feet 6 inches (1.68 m). After her parents divorced, King’s mother remarried. She grew up in Ohio, somewhere between Wellston and Columbus. Her stepfather, Justin Tesa, gave her a record by the all-female hard-rock band the Donnas when she was nine years old; she considers this to be the pivotal moment when she decided she wanted to be a musician.
In January 2016, King began dating Andrew Ferguson. The couple met in a hotel lobby in London and got engaged on a sailing trip around San Francisco Bay twelve days later. On February 14, 2016, they married, and on May 15, 2017, they announced their intention to divorce. Ferguson was arrested and charged with felony domestic violence on April 23, 2017, after allegedly grabbing King by the throat and threatening to kill her, though the charge was later dropped. In late 2017, King and Ferguson reconciled briefly. King is in a new relationship as of October 2018. It was revealed in 2021 that she was expecting her first child with tattoo artist Dan Tooker. She gave birth to a son on September 1, 2021.

Elle King America’s Sweetheart
“America’s Sweetheart” is the song that appears on her debut studio album, Love Stuff (2015). Martin Johnson, the song’s producer, and King co-wrote the song. It was released on February 8, 2016, as the album’s second mainstream single and third overall (it was promoted concurrently with rock single “Under the Influence”), and was serviced to hot adult contemporary radio in the United States by RCA Records.
“America’s Sweetheart” is a country pop and country rock song dominated by the banjo, with an electronic dance music-influenced beat. The lyrics of the song address the concept of non-conformity, with King emphasizing her unique qualities that contrast with the ideal persona of “America’s sweetheart” and asserting that she refuses to change for anyone. In the chorus, King uses a belting technique.
Elle King Tattoos
King arrived at the Academy of Country Music Awards this weekend looking every inch the rock star she is, with ’70s-inspired curtain bangs, loose waves, and peachy eye makeup, but nothing could take our attention away from her unique neck tattoo. The singer, who revealed to Vogue in 2018 that she has over 55 tattoos, has a snake design on her neck, and while we’ve seen a lot of neck tattoos, what makes King’s stand out is that we rarely see them in the front of the neck area. King is currently engaged to and expecting a child with tattoo artist Dan Tooker, and she has previously spoken about her love of tattoos and how her collection has grown over time.
Elle King Father
She made her film debut as Cookie Girl in her father’s film Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo in 1999. The story follows a hapless fishtank cleaner who goes into business as a male sex worker to earn enough money to repair the damage he caused while house-sitting. The film is notable for being Happy Madison Productions’ first feature film. Buena Vista Pictures released the film on December 10, 1999. (through its Touchstone Pictures label). Despite receiving negative critical reviews, the film was a box office success, grossing $92 million worldwide on a $17 million budget. Columbia Pictures, rather than Touchstone Pictures, released a sequel titled Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo in 2005.

The song was recorded in Nashville and New York prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The song was described as a “neon-spattered, banjo-flecked euphoria that fits perfectly with the idea of blowing off steam well into the wee hours” by Rolling Stone.

Elle King Weight Loss
In a previous interview, the California-born singer also discussed her inability to lose weight. She revealed that it was the same PCOS that was causing her weight gain and irregular periods. King went on to say that she had always struggled with weight gain. However, after consulting with a fertility specialist in Albuquerque, the medication proved effective. She eventually became pregnant through natural ovulation. King stated that now that life is being created inside her body, she no longer has negative thoughts about herself and believes her body is beautiful and healthy.
