Though mainly now known as a singer of traditional song, Andrew King’s initial creative work was in the visual arts, exhibiting his Emblematic paintings both nationally and internationally. In 1994 he started making documentary recordings of traditional songs, music, and customs and in 1995 moved to London to further this work and the illustrative compositions that he was doing for a number of the Post-Industrial bands of the time to complement this work he made his first attempts at traditional song the following year.

He has subsequently become an expert in the vernacular culture of the British Isles as well as the wider shores of Pan-European Balladry, having worked for both the English Folk Dance & Song Society and the Sound Archive of the British Library and is consequently one of the very few people in the burgeoning Neo-Folk scene for whom the term “Folk” is more relevant than “Neo” in that he is at home in both unaccompanied and arranged performances; for the former he has been resident at a number of traditional music clubs whilst for the latter his backing band consists of members of the noted groups KnifeLadder and Naevus. In 2016 he was awarded his PhD for his Thesis on the phonographs that members of the Folk-Song Society made in the decade before the Great War.
