Local Artist announced as first signing by upstart Pikeville record Label
A local talent saw his dream come true on Monday October 2nd, as he became the first signing for a new upstart record label in Pikeville called TubeFi records.
William King, who has been infatuated by music since early childhood was announced as the labels first signing, and will see his first album released in mid-November.
“I’ve been singing as long as I can remember and I started to play guitar about three years ago.” King said while giving background on his start in the musical profession.
Headed up by sound technician Tony Mullins, TubeFi has expressed interest in working with local talent to help them further their careers. According to a press release sent out by BT media, TubeFi is the Pikeville’s first independent label, with a goal of finding local talent and helping them get their careers to the next logical step.
17 year old King paid a visit to the East Kentucky Broadcasting Studios last week, to give listeners a sneak peek of his album, playing his original song Man on a Mission.
“Man it’s a dream come true!” King stated during an interview giving some insight into his feelings on seeing the beginnings of a budding musical career. “I’ve always wanted this and dreamed that this would happen.”
King’s album is made up of all original recordings, including the first song he wrote around two and a half years ago, shortly after teaching himself to play guitar.
