Sullivan King

Keaton Prescott, the multi­-instrumentalist known as Sullivan King, retains one steel-­toed boot in a face­splitting grind of chugging guitars and double-bass kick drums, and the other atop a DJ table. The producer’s music machetes a path between the clarity and precision of electronic music and the angst of heavy metal, making his live shows one of the few places where kandi­-coated ravers and metalheads mingle. <br><br> His innovative sound required him to invent new ways of playing. With the help of modern technology, he’s able to write, arrange and perform every instrument found in a traditional four-­piece band. Live, he does it all with just a guitar, a microphone and a pair of CDJs. He stands at the collision of two competing worlds. If DJs are today’s rock stars, then Sullivan King is forging his own rock galaxy.
