Mitch King

Mitch King is an Australian award-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose dynamic fusion of Southern blues, Australian folk, roots and modern rock has captivated audiences worldwide. His career took off in 2016 when he won the Tamworth Country Music Festival Busking Championship, and then two weeks later was voted "Hottest New Act" at St Kilda Festival.

With over 80 million streams globally, Mitch’s raw musicianship and evocative storytelling have earned him spots at major festivals like Woodford Folk Festival, Blues on Broadbeach, and Byron Bay Blues Festival and seen him share the stage with icons like America the Band, Supertramp’s Roger Hodgson and Tones and I.

His hit track “Coming Back” from his debut Album “A Life Under the Sun” was played at the Green Bay Packers' season opener in 2016, gaining international recognition. Mitch’s second EP, “The Open Doors”, released in 2021 under the late Michael Gudinski's Reclusive Records, showcased his continued growth as an artist. The single “Oil & Water”, co-written with Mark Lizotte (Diesel), earned an Honorary Mention in the 2022 International Songwriting Competition.

Mitch continues to push creative boundaries, crafting new music for his highly anticipated 2025 album.

QUOTES
“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.”

“Supported by Mitch King, who is in his own right a very talented young folk/blues singer and multi-instrumentalist who was handpicked by Roger Hodgson (Supertramp) for his 2019 Australian tour. I suppose the word got out, as Mitch was quite an impressive opening act for America. Armed with guitar and a harmonica in a seated venue with all the house lights on – King was not intimidated to be pouring his heart out with the extra help of his howling vocals. His song ‘Burning’ was the one that struck me the most. It felt like Mitch came straight out of alligator filled Luisiana bayou region or from some country town of New Orleans. An Australian nod to southern blues and folk rock indeed. Check Mitch King out if you get the chance.”
