Born Karrington Donald, 34K’s soulful rhythms brim with energy, passion, and emotion. Her career began when she first picked up a controller for the video game “Guitar Hero.” She knew instantly that playing guitar was more than “just a game” and at the age of 14 began writing her own music. As a former athlete, her basketball coach saw unlimited potential in her musical calling and bestowed upon her the name “34K”; a combination of her jersey number and the first letter of her name. 34K’s cover of “I Like That” caught the attention of renowned superstar Janelle Monae on Glamour’s “Watches Fan Covers on YouTube” series, earning her justified praise and attention on the world-wide web. Drawing inspiration from celebrated artists, such as Jill Scott, Lianne La Havas, and John Mayer, 34K weaves a tapestry of varying styles, showcasing a distinctive melodic style that is all her own.
34K is inspiring me to rehearse my own acoustic music; my song is not easy to sing… I was very impressed!
