Archy Ivan Marshall, born on August 24, 1994, in Southwark, London, developed an interest in music and art from a young age. Despite early struggles with discipline and school, he eventually attended the Brit School to study art. His childhood involved moving between his parents’ homes in Peckham and East Dulwich, which provided different experiences. Marshall also navigated mental health challenges, such as depression and insomnia, which have informed some of his lyrical content.
Marshall began his recording career in 2010 under the moniker Zoo Kid, releasing singles and an EP, U.F.O.W.A.V.E. In July 2011, he adopted the stage name King Krule, inspired by the Elvis Presley film “King Creole.” His eponymous debut EP as King Krule was released in late 2011. In 2012, he was nominated for the BBC Sound of 2013 poll, indicating a growing recognition of his unique sound. His debut full-length album, “6 Feet Beneath the Moon,” was released in August 2013, garnering positive critical reception and leading to televised performances on “Conan” and the “Late Show with David Letterman.” The album’s cover was illustrated by his brother, Jack Marshall, marking an early collaboration. In 2014, he appeared on the cover of The Fader’s 90th issue.
In December 2015, Marshall released “A New Place 2 Drown” under his real name, Archy Marshall, distinguishing it as a hip-hop focused project. This release was accompanied by a 208-page book of visual art and text, created in collaboration with his brother. He continued to release music under various aliases, including Edgar the Beatmaker, contributing to Mount Kimbie’s NTS Radio show in 2017. As King Krule, he released the critically acclaimed album “The Ooz” in October 2017, which received significant praise, reaching 23rd on the UK Official Chart and earning nominations for the IMPALA European Album of the Year Award and the Mercury Prize in 2018. His career progression includes subsequent albums “Man Alive!” (2020) and “Space Heavy” (2023), further establishing his distinct musical presence. He also frequently collaborates with other artists and releases EPs and live albums, maintaining an active and evolving discography.
