Biography
King Princess is the stage name of Mikaela Straus, an American singer, songwriter, and producer known for blending indie pop, rock, and soul with candid, emotionally charged lyrics. Born on December 19, 1998, in Brooklyn, New York, Straus grew up surrounded by music; her father was a recording engineer, and she spent much of her childhood in recording studios. She learned multiple instruments at a young age and began writing songs as a teenager, developing a distinctive sound rooted in classic influences and modern pop sensibilities.
King Princess gained widespread attention in 2018 with the breakout single “1950,” a dreamy, romantic track that became a viral hit and an anthem for queer love. The song’s success led to her debut album, Cheap Queen (2019), which showcased her sharp songwriting, playful confidence, and genre-crossing style. She followed this with Hold On Baby (2022), a more expansive and emotionally complex album that explored themes of identity, relationships, and self-reflection.
In addition to her music career, King Princess has been praised for her openness about gender and sexuality, becoming an influential voice for LGBTQ+ representation in contemporary pop culture. Known for her bold aesthetic and hands-on approach to production, she continues to evolve as an artist, balancing vulnerability with swagger and carving out a distinct place in modern music.
