Caitlin King is a singer-songwriter from Dallas, TX, who is based in Austin, TX. She is inspired by Bonnie Raitt, Nina Simone, and Jeff Buckley. 

​

Caitlin studied classical piano at SMU's Piano Preparatory Department for 11 years. This instilled her with a firm grasp of music theory and a love of classical music. She attended Booker T Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts as a classical pianist with a minor focus on jazz voice and composition. She was the first and only student to complete all music theory courses and earn the highest score on the AP Music Theory exam in her freshman year of high school. 

​

Caitlin sang in the Children's Chorus of Greater Dallas and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, where she participated in numerous PR events, including a televised hour-long Christmas special recorded at the Meyerson Symphony Center. 

​

Through Booker T, she performed at the Monterey Next Generation Jazz Festival in Monterey, California, three times with the Vocal Jazz ensemble. Outside of school, she played with many rock and blues bands, performing covers and originals at venues like the House of Blues, Three Links, Gas Monkey (rip), and other clubs in Deep Ellum. As an Oak Cliff native, she sat in on local blues jams at El Corazon on Davis Street, where she sang with Jimmie Vaughan of The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
 
She studied songwriting and composition with Julie Bonk, a world-class jazz pianist and Norah Jones's teacher. Julie introduced her to the world of improvisation and inspired her to pursue a career as a singer-songwriter. 

In September of 2018, Caitlin King and a small ensemble opened for Robin Thicke at a dinner hosted by Dirk Nowitzki in preparation for the third annual Dirk Nowitzki Pro Celebrity Tennis Classic. 

​

In January of 2019, Caitlin participated in YoungArts. Out of 7,483 applicants, she was one of the 687 winners chosen, and one of five winners for the singer-songwriter category. She performed her song "Fed Up" for 750 people at the New World Symphony Center in Miami, FL.

​

From 2019 to 2023, Caitlin took a break from her intense performing schedule to address severe recurring tendinitis and carpal tunnel in both arms. With her hands out of commission, she saw the forced hiatus as an opportunity to develop her voice and study other essential aspects of the music industry. 

​

In 2024, Caitlin graduated with honors from Berklee College of Music with a BPS in Songwriting and Music Business. 

 
Equipped with 17 years of performance experience, a voice like Linda Ronstadt, and her Nord piano, Caitlin performs solo and with a four-piece band across Texas.
