“Look out Showbiz, here comes Nicolas King!”
Nicolas King has been performing since he was 4 years old — having been in 3 Broadway productions (“Beauty & The Beast,” “A Thousand Clowns,” with Tom Selleck, and Carol Burnett's “Hollywood Arms”) all before the age of 12.
King has appeared on many TV talk shows such as “The View,” “The Today Show,” “Sally Jesse Raphael,” "Liza & David", and twice on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno (including Leno's final week as host in 2014).
His latest album, "Act One” celebrating 25 years of recordings", was released in 2021 and features collaborations with Jane Monheit, Norm Lewis, hit-maker Charles Calello, and longtime musical director Mike Renzi.
“A precociously polished … pop-jazz crooner.”
He performed on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon for 8 consecutive years live in Las Vegas, originated the voice of "Oscar" on Discovery Kids' "Kenny The Shark" and is the recipient of the 1995 and 1996 Talent America Award, 2010 Julie Wilson Award, 2015 AMG Award for Artist of the Year, the 2012 Bistro Award for 'Outstanding Performer of the Year', and the 2019 Legends Award for his contribution to the preservation of the Great American Songbook.
Aside from performing alongside artists as Tony Danza, Andrea McArdle, Jack Jones, Lainie Kazan, Donna McKechnie, Faith Prince, Billy Paul, Jennifer Holliday, Debby Boone, and Linda Lavin, he has also performed alongside his mentor, the legendary Liza Minnelli, since he was 11 years old as her opening act from 2002-2012, touring all over the country.
King has performed on many iconic stages including concerts and appearances at Lincoln Center, Birdland, 54 Below, Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, and Carnegie Hall.
