In this exclusive interview, the singer, songwriter, film producer, record producer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and instrumentalist reveals details about the release of her debut single, the inspiration behind her songs, her musical journey so far, her style, upcoming projects, her zeal to exceed expectations, and more.
Interviewer: When did you start singing?
Mercedes King: Ever since I was a young child. I used music to combat the anxieties from losing my mum, composing songs at an early age of 12.
Interviewer: What would you say is the inspiration behind your music?
Mercedes King: My songs are very much reflective of my mood. Unfortunately, I am an emotional person and so my mood is constantly shifting. I write about what I desire, what I want and what I hope for. I’m a romantic girl but not the best at verbally expressing how I feel, so I do that through music.
Interviewer: How would you best describe your music?
Mercedes King: I’d say I have this raw, edgy and storytelling way of songwriting that pushes the lyrical envelope evoking my thoughts on love, heartbreak, and the chilling truths behind trying to make it in the music industry.
Interviewer: What would you say is your biggest motivation?
Mercedes King: I want to entertain people. I want to distract them from any negativity in their life and day dream with me. I want them to relate to me. I want people to use my music as emotional support. When I write music, I don’t follow a structure. I just write what I’m feeling. Sometimes I’m in a bad mood and sometimes I am in a romantic mood. My music is unapologetic, emotional, raw and honest.
Interviewer: Do you have any short term plans?
Mercedes King: Yes. I’d be releasing my first ever single. The song will be produced under Kings Republic Enterprises. It is a fine blend of acoustic pop fare, RnB, and blues.
Interviewer: What motivated you into releasing your first ever single?
Mercedes King: I have always been determined to bring back feel good music, reminiscent of the era that inspired me and helped me get through dark times, and in releasing the debut single, I think I am on the right path.
Interviewer: Any long term plans?
Mercedes King: Yes. I want to continue building my raw emotional connection my growing fans. My fan base is called “Kings Republic” and so far, so good, they are constantly following my daily habits on social media. I’m also working to release more singles to showcase my diversity and range.
