By his early twenties, King had his sights firmly set on a career in music.  Complete with a management team in place to help strategize his success.  Rygin King noted that his visibility, or the lack thereof, was a strategic move by his team.  They chose to wait until his songs saturated the music scene before putting a face to the name, or rather the songs.

Discography

Dancehall singer/songwriter Rygin King’s star rose quickly with a series of increasingly catchy singles highlighting his driven vocal performances and bright production. The most successful of his songs incorporated elements of commercial trap and R&B production.

In 2017 he released several songs that caught on in dancehall circles, including the laid-back groove of “Feel Like This (Big Toe)” and the more upbeat “Pretty Little Freak.” Rather than focus on an album, King stuck to steadily releasing singles throughout 2018, gaining more exposure for internationally recognized songs like “Tuff” and “Powerful.” 2018 single “Tuff” acted as an introduction to King’s multi-faceted sound.

He continued this model going into 2019 with new songs “Star Life” and “Clean.”
