Mitch King

Building his fanbase to over 50 million worldwide streams, Mitch King is well known for his honest, raw and dynamic live performances. Not limiting himself to one genre, Mitch blends vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, harmonica, kick drum and tambourine to create his unique southern blues and Australian folk n roots sound.

Born and raised on the Gold Coast, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Mitch spends many of his days travelling around Australia in his campervan, playing his music at shows and festivals across the country.

In 2014, Mitch independently released his first album, A Life Under The Sun. The single ‘Coming Back’ reached new heights when it was picked up by the US football team the Green Bay Packers, who played his song at their season opener game and shared it across their social media. The song has since had over 25 million streams on US Pandora radio and average of 250,000 monthly listeners.

Mitch then released EP, Southerly Change in 2016. It went straight to the top of the blues chart, where it remained for 10 days straight. More recently he’s had success with a bunch of single releases with his single “Burning” amassing over 3 million Spotify streams.

He has graced many festival stages the likes of the Tamworth Country Music Festival, St Kilda Festival and Blues on Broadbeach, and supported artists such as Tones And I, America The Band, and Supertramp’s Roger Hodgson.

In January 2021 Mitch announced his signing to the Late Michael Gudinski’s newest label, Reclusive Records.

“I have always been fascinated with the one-man band concept. After seeing Mitch perform live, I knew there was something unique and special about him. The fact that Mitch’s song ‘Coming Back’ was used and embraced by the NFL team The Green Bay Packers was a true testament to his song writing and I was surprised that he wasn’t already signed after that! The reaction we had after Mitch performed 5 Seconds Of Summer’s track ‘Youngblood’ on The State Of Music was incredible and it made it clear that we had to have him on Reclusive.” – Michael Gudinski

During 2020 and 2021 Mitch dedicated much of his time focusing on writing new music, collaborating with artists such as Mark Lizotte “Diesel”, The Temper Trap and Pierce Brothers. And in September 2021 he released his anticipated sophomore EP “The Open Doors“.
