About

King Princess in Concert

Mikaela Straus was born to rock - and shock. The Brooklyn-born vocalist, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer was surrounded by music as a kid. While her mom worked in fashion, her dad took on the role of recording engineer and owner of Brooklyn's Mission Sound, a studio located in their house. There, Straus learned guitar, bass, piano, drums, and production techniques. She also listened to a lot of hard rock, from Led Zeppelin to Jack White.

By the time she was 11 years old, she had the attention of Virgin Records - but she wasn't quite ready for a record deal yet. Fast forward a few years, and Straus was on her way to the west coast, where she began studying at USC's Thornton School of Music. Only a year into her program, she was ready to pursue music full-time, so she decided to drop out. It turned out to be a smart move.

At just 19 years old, her world changed. As King Princess, she would not only play with the concept of gender but the idea of pop music itself - and it quickly caught on. She released her debut single, "1950," in February 2018 on Mark Ronson's Zelig Recordings label. With her breathy, soulful vocals slinking over simmering electro-pop, it made its way onto the U.S. Alternative charts, peaking at No. 17, and was soon hailed as one of the year's great queer love anthems. 

Not long after, she followed up with the sultry "Talia" and then her debut EP, 'Make My Bed.' In support of that release, she played select U.S. dates in the summer, and by November 2018, she made even bigger waves in the world of pop with the release of breezy and bold single "P*ssy is God."

Even without a full-length album to her name, King Princess was quick to hit the touring circuit, already headlining shows throughout Australia and New Zealand in 2018 before kicking off her first major North American tour in 2019.

    Amazing show! Amazing sound!

    by RogerY on 10/12/22The Fillmore Detroit - Detroit

    The sound was amazing! I've probably been to close to 100 concerts and I can't remember the sound clarity standing out to me that much before, especially at a venue this size where they often overdo it. Even St. Panther, who generally had a "quieter" vibe, sounded great. King Princess put on an amazing show - she left everything out on the stage. She looks so young in person. I see so much of Alanis, Prince, and some Shirley Manson in her. How is she not more popular? The show started on time and the crew did a great job of getting the stage ready quickly between acts. I, personally, could have done without the drag queen, but the crowd seemed to be into it. The venue security, staff, and bartenders were all very courteous. Great experience all around.

    the girls, gays, and theys stay winning

    by julia on 10/10/22Radio City Music Hall - New York

    this was easily one of the best concerts I've ever experienced. king princess is a force to be reckoned with and doesn't get NEARLY as much credit as they deserve for their lyrics but also their producing skills! not only is radio city music hall my new fave concert venue thus far, but KP is probably one of my favorite performers now as well 🫶🏽

    by Queen Prince on 10/6/22Radio City Music Hall - New York

    First time at RCMH, which was pretty cool in and of itself. There was so much love and positive energy in the room and while I love KP, live she and the band are beyond amazing. Pure rock energy. Raw, real, lovable. Thank you for making the world a better place.

    Best show ever

    by LA on 10/1/22The Fillmore Charlotte - Charlotte

    This was the best show I’ve ever been to. KP was incredible,m. Their voice, stage presence and everything is was absolutely unreal. I’ve been to so many concerts and this by far was the best one ever. The way she interacted with the audience was really fun as well. Live nation did a good job of putting this event on.
