King is an improviser on all of his instruments including, Oboe, Bassoon, Flute, Clarinet, and Saxophone. Kevin King is most known for his Saxophone, Flute, and Oboe playing. King has played all over the country with countless artists including Arturo Sandoval, Lauryn Hill, The Fugees, Wyclef Jean, The Temptations, Marcus Strickland, Marquis Hill, Joel Ross, Arturo Sandoval, Willie Pickens, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Buddy Guy, Reginald Chapman, Adam Neely, Larry Gray, Corey Wilkes, Renee Baker, Steve Gorn, Junius Paul, Bobby Broom, etc. The Kevin King Regime is a culmination of King’s vision of creating a “Heavy Metal Instrumental Band with improvisation” or “Heavy Metal saxophone”. King always uses the description “if Pharoah Sanders was the frontman to Black Sabbath instead of Ozzy Osbourne”. “ The Kevin King Regime is influenced by every sound known and unknown to man creating a sound unlike anything heard before. The original compositions I write are in many ways a symbol of the values I live by. An urgency to improve the world we live in with the art of sound creation, experimentation, and exploration. The music is a reflection of the world itself.”
