New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Driven by passion and guided by faith, King Koro delivers spiritual, energy-infused hip-hop and R&B—crafting powerful anthems of resilience, love, and devotion—all pulsing with delightful youthful intensity. The son of a Houston pastor and ministry founder, the Church was woven into his life from a young age. Creating songs on his mother's laptop and playing drums alongside his father's organ, he felt a fire blazing within him—a deep, undeniable passion for music. But his path was far from easy. As a teenager, he lost his way, spiraling down a dangerous road that led to being kicked out of his home and experiencing nearly five years of homelessness in Chicago. Yet, through it all, his faith never truly left him. With a renewed spirit and a calling too powerful to ignore, he found his way back—back to Houston, back to ministry, and back to music, this time with a purpose greater than himself. On his upcoming album, KORONATION, King Koro puts it all on the table. Each track is a chapter of his story—his struggles, redemption, and unwavering optimism. Now, he's ready to share his journey with the world—living his truth and encouraging all to pursue pure love and the blessings of God.
