KINGS’ quickly followed the single up with his self-titled debut EP and cemented his big year by taking home ‘Breakthrough Artist of The Year’ at the 2016 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards, as well as ‘Best Pacific Male Artist’, ‘Best Urban Artist’, ‘Best Producer’ at the Vodafone Pacific Music Awards.
In late 2017, KINGS returned in style, displaying his musical dexterity with his independently released debut album ‘Chapter One’, which featured the hits ‘We’ll Never Know’, ‘Domino’ and ‘In The Sun’. Not one for complacency, KINGS then shortly followed it up with his second album ‘Two’, in early 2018, which featured the singles 'You Do' and ‘Temporary Me’, which saw KINGS receive an APRA Silver Scroll Award finalist nomination.
Despite a seemingly overnight success, KINGS has been on the grind since 2010, writing, recording, mixing and mastering all his music under his self-run label Arch Angel Records.
