INTERVIEW: Kaki King
Little side-step away from Hip Hop. I did a photoshoot and an interview with Kaki King that just went up on Gothamist.com. Read an excerpt below and the whole thing here. The photos below are from the shoot and you can see the full 28 picture set here.
Kaki King is a guitar player and singer-songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia. She lived in Brooklyn for 7 years until last summer, when music started taking her on a permanent tour around the world. Her upcoming album is called Dreaming Of Revenge and will be released March 11th on Velour Records. King was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Score for the music she played in the Sean Penn film Into the Wild, appeared on a Grammy Award winning Foo Fighters album and Rolling Stone Magazine has declared her the first and only female "Guitar God."
You lived in Williamsburg for about 7 years until you started a perpetual touring lifestyle last June. Do you miss the city when you're on the road or is it a nice break for you?
New York is the only place I know of where if you stay too long, you get sick of it, but the instant you leave you miss it. Things I miss about New York whilst on the road: 24 hour bodegas, instant cheap eats everywhere, amazing-looking people who are boring, boring-looking people who are amazing, a transit system that never shuts down, and a city of 8 million where you still manage to run into everyone you've ever known.
