A VOICE OF HER OWN

National Recording Academy Member, Claudette King, dubbed "The Bluz Queen" is the youngest daughter of THE Ultimate Blues Master, B. B. King and, if familial genes count for anything, she is “On to something.”

The former San Francisco Bay Area native now living in Atlanta, Georgia, has had the life experiences to make lyrics mean something. She has a natural ease in shifting with the mood of each word. However, most certainly, the power of Claudette's enthusiasm for the beautiful genre-blending music on her debut "We're Onto Something" merits ample notice.

“Is it the root of everything — all other genres — it isn't Rhythm & Blues, it is the Rhythm in the Blues.”

Claudette King can be described as dynamic, amplified, and downright sassy. She exudes a confidence that perhaps was born of her struggle to prove who she is and at the same time carve out her own identity.

As the daughter of the all-time Blues iconic legend, B.B. King, Claudette grew up attending church and had a “normal” everyday life which included attending public school and seemed far removed from the star-studded world of her father.

Her life was so normal that her classmates did not believe she was the daughter of B.B. King.

“There was a high burden of proof for me to convince my classmates,” says King.

A MAN OF FEW WORDS

Gregory Goodloe may be a man of few words, yet his electric jazz guitar sparks unlimited fire, consistently burning up the national radio airplay charts.

As an American R&B and smooth jazz guitarist, composer, and producer, he has had a successful career in music, which includes releasing several Billboard chart-topping singles. 

In 2019 topped the Billboard smooth jazz/contemporary jazz chart with "Stylin” and with "Groovin' On" (2024). In August 2025, he released the single "Unlimited," which was co-written and produced with Grammy winner Michael Broening.

Goodloe has collaborated and performed with numerous prominent artists across jazz, R&B, and gospel music, including Larry Dunn of Earth, Wind & Fire, Norman Brown, Ben Tankard, and Shirley Caesar.

He has performed at many jazz festivals, including the Winter Park Jazz Festival, Breckenridge Jazz Festival, and Five Points Jazz Festival.

Goodloe is a self-taught musician who was heavily influenced by jazz legends like Wes Montgomery and George Benson. He has successfully fused R&B, hip-hop, funk, and gospel with his own brand of smooth jazz.
