ABOUT

ZKING OF HEARTS
(AKA)
DADDY ROOTS

ZKing of Hearts (ZKOH) formerly known as Daddy Roots was born on April 23, 1977 in the tiny but gorgeous island of Anguilla, British West Indies.

ZKOH is now based in El Segundo, California getting ready for his US tour for the next 3 years.

ZKOH’s religion is love and his reaction to anger and hatred is to walk away with love in his heart and a smile on his face. ZKOH believes that around the corner of depression lies hope and his songs titles including "Love And Honor", "I Am At Peace With Myself", "Walk Away From War", “ Happiness” and "Moving On" express his philosophy of peace and harmony for everyone.

ZKOH major influences are Sam Cooke, Van Morrison, Bob Marley, Prince, Queen and Guns and Roses.

Radio deejays loved him when they saw him perform live and ZKOH was invited back by promoters again to tour the festival, club and college circuit later that year and for 2003-2004.
