John's debut radio single, “Tonight Tonight,” earned him his first Top 40 hit and was heard by millions of NFL fans and used to highlight CBS network’s Thursday night football throughout the 2014 season.

In addition to his rising success as an artist, King is also earning national recognition as a songwriter. In early 2016, King experienced his first #1 with a song called “We Went” recorded by artist Randy Houser. King co-wrote the song with friends, Matt Rogers and Justin Wilson and received a 2016 ASCAP Songwriter Award for the song's success. King has gone on to write songs for some of Country’s biggest stars. King also penned the first Hootie and The Blowfish song to be released since 2005. “Rollin” is featured on their upcoming album.
John continues touring countless dates building his fanbase and in late 2016, signed his first management deal with Narvel Blackstock and Starstruck Entertainment. Narvel has been instrumental in the rise of Superstars like Reba, Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson.

In late 2017, King released the single "I Still Pick Up" from his latest project. The song debuted Top 5 on the Apple Music Hot Chart and has already gained over 1 million streams. The music video recently debuted on CMT and was voted Top 10 on the countdown.
King’s releases “Heat Wave” and “Never Wanna Be” both debuted on Spotify’s “New Boots” playlist and gained over 3 million cumulative streams. In April of 2018, King signed a major publishing deal with Sony/ATV Nashville. He is currently on tour.

King’s single, “Try Saying Goodbye” pulls from his storytelling prowess. It has already garnered more than 18 million streams and 30 major market radio adds including Atlanta, Boston and Seattle. It was described by Tom Roland, of Billboard Magazine, as “a de facto ear worm that continues to connect.” CMT stated “With fresh melodies and lyrics mixed with old school believability, John King is a serious new artist you need to have on your playlists”. It was named one of Rolling Stone’s Top 10 Country Songs, earning features from , Amazon, Whiskey Riff, Taste of Country and more. It was also featured on Apple Music’s “Best of the Week”, “A-List”, “Breaking Country” and “Broken Down” Playlists.
