Her mother, London King, remarried after her parents separated. She grew up in Ohio, between the cities of Wellston and Columbus. Her stepfather, Justin Tesa, gave her a record by The Donnas, an all-female hard-rock band when she was nine years old.
This was a huge milestone in her career as a musician. Afterward, she began listening to The Runaways and Blondie. Elle King also made her first acting debut in a titled film Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo alongside her stepfather.
Elle King began playing guitar at the age of 13 and grew up listening to Otis Redding, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, and Earl Scruggs.
Hank Williams and Earl Scruggs‘ country and bluegrass music motivated her to pick up the banjo. During her teenage years, she attended Buck’s Rock camp in Connecticut, where she starred successfully in several musicals.
