TESTIMONIALS.

So I took a family poll of what each person enjoyed the most about the event and your band came out on top for each person. The musicians were excellent, your song choices were fabulous and your energy simply topped it off. It was excellent. I look forward to seeing you all again, hopefully soon.

I have seen (the) SKJ Experiment Band for the first time at a Juneteenth Celebration in Granby, CT. What an amazing band Steven King Jr. put together!!! I danced for the entire hour along with my friend Andrea and other people who attended. A mixture of music presented by the band brought dancing feet and smiles to all of us. My sister attended and although she was not a dancer, enjoyed the music intensely. I am looking forward to more music love by this talented band !

The SKJ Experiment band is a multi-talented group of musicians under the leadership of the phenomenal vocalist Steven King Jr. Their combined talents create an amazing sound which entertains people of all ages. Steven's ability to dance and sing gets people up and dancing to a variety of songs. I highly recommend this band for all of your entertainment needs.

I was very privileged to see the SKJ experiment perform during the Juneteenth celebration in Granby last month! The band was great! High energy, great mix of music, and great musicians! Steve’s vocals were amazing and I was up and dancing the whole time! Can’t wait to see them again! Would highly recommend!

LOVES

music

More importantly though, Steve loves performing and entertaining others THROUGH his love of music.

Since his first play, singing the solo “Germs, My Invisible Dog,” at the age of 5, Steve has been blessed to have been singing in school, in church, or performing in plays or musicals for the entertainment of others.

In his late teen years, while attending Penn State University in the mid 90’s, Steven auditioned for and landed a spot with a soul and R&B  group by the name of “The Last Knights.” During that time, while covering the songs of other artists, the group also performed their own music in the greater Philadelphia & tri-state area; opening up for acts such as Brownstone (MJJ Records) & Tyree (Independent Hustler Records). 

After moving to CT about a decade later, Steve was blessed to be a founding member of a 5 man gospel group, called “(The Men of) INTERCESSION” out of Springfield, MA. The group performed in MA, CT, NY, and Philadelphia, opening for such artists as: JJ Hairston & Youthful Praise, Deon Kipping, and The Joy Unlimited Mass Choir. However, several years after the group all went their separate ways, Steve still had a hunger to sing and perform for others.

The opportunity came in a big way in the early 2000’s, when Steve landed with the live 9 piece “Motown show” band: Soul Sound Revue. As one of the band’s 3 lead singers, Steve has been able to travel all over the country performing the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and current hit tunes for all types of events!

His current project called, “The SKJ Experiment,” is something new that is  the culmination of his 40+ years around the music industry.

Stepping out on his own, Steve’s goal is to bring a soulful and high energy performance to every audience that he is in front of. SKJ’s “Experiment,” is an enthusiastic new spark in live band entertainment with a style and an experience for others that allows you to reminisce of the days of old, while singing along with and dancing it away – creating new memories for years to come.

Thanks for the opportunity to continue to bring what I love, to you and your next event..... See you soon!
