The 80′s era served as the canvas. He then added an interesting blend of colors- red, white, and blue… yellow, green, and a slim line of black. On top, he sketched the unforgettable New York skyline- pre- September 11th, with the Twin Towers in tact. With the art complete, God said, “I think I’ll name this piece King-I-Divine”. Born to Guyanese and Panamanian parents, King-I-Divine entered the world by way of the Brooklyn borough as Sean L. Maxwell on January 27, 1982. Throughout his life, he relocated from Brooklyn to Queens, from Queens to Long Island; thus, New York City has always been considered home. The artists of the 80′s and 90′s sparked King-I-Divine’s love for hip hop and R&B. Wu-Tang Clan, Bootcamp, Smif N Wesson, and Nas, are just a few of his musical influences. Although New York originated makers RZA, Pete Rock, and DJ Premier to a considerable degree influenced King-I-Divine’s style, he likewise draws inspiration from the Neptunes, as well as musical greats Stevie Wonder and Sam Cooke. After leaving New York in 2000, King-I-Divine relocated to Lawrenceville, GA. In the summer of 2003, he combined his Caribbean and Latin background with his knack for playing instruments (the, drums, saxophone, and piano) to construct his introductory tune. King-I-Divine continued to invent beats until he in the long run found his distinct style. Most of his tunes thereafter contained constituents of his sound; that “boom, bap” drum beat, combined with a simple, yet complementary bass line… a veritably melodic melody which has the power to transform today’s definition of “music”; a melody which makes the listener experience emotions that transcend understanding. Currently, King-I-Divine attends Berklee College of Music where he will receive a Master Certificate of Production upon completion. He is the CEO and owner of King-I Entertainment based out of Atlanta, GA. |
