Early life
King Green was born Pierre Desrosiers in Boston, Massachusetts as the Son of Haitian immigrants. He spent his developmental years in Nice, France, but his family returned to the United States during the Golden Age of Hip-Hop in the 1990s. Although his first spoken language was French, King Green mastered the art of rhythmic storytelling with an unstoppable flow and uncontainable wit. By living in the Washington D.C. area and a strong family presence in Miami, Florida, King Green was heavily influenced by his Haitian heritage as well as his immense appreciation for a variety of cultural art forms including Brazilian music and culture, Japanese anime, French fine arts, and traditional South African music.

Songwriting
King Green is signed to Warner Chappell Music as a songwriter, where he has written countless songs placed in film and TV shows such as STARZ's Power, On My Block, Grown Ups, All American, The Wrong Missy, and The Week Of. King Green’s multifaceted talent tool belt as a writer, producer, and engineer has afforded him the opportunity to write songs with Pharrell Williams and Method Man. He additionally wrote the chorus as well as appeared on "Caterpillar" with Royce 5’9, and Eminem.

RDGLDGRN
King Green is 1/3 of the band RDGLDGRN. RDGLDGRN recorded their breakout song "I Love Lamp" in the fall of 2011 and uploaded their self-produced and directed music video to YouTube, where it reached over 100,000 hits within days and led to a major record label singing in 2012 with Universal Republic Records. The group recorded their debut album at Sound City Studios with Northern Virginia native Dave Grohl (there filming his Sound City documentary) on drums for the entire record except "Million Fans," which features a sampled breakbeat. An additional Virginia native became involved when Pharrell Williams co-wrote and co-produced "Doing the Most."
