Kings Return

Dynamic four-piece vocal group Kings Return take pride in crafting a diverse yet supremely cohesive a cappella sound. The blend of their unique vocal timbres is so rich and smooth that, at times, it sounds more like a full choir than a mere four men.

Discovered after posting a series of bare-bones stairwell performances that went viral, their music is laced with expansive harmonies that flex the agility and effortless range of their vocal talent.

Their sound has earned comparisons to iconic acts like Take 6 and Boyz II Men. Drawn to the flexibility of a cappella, they integrate R&B with free moments of jazz, soulful bursts of gospel, and bright touches of pop—all built on a solid, classical foundation.

• Vaughn Faison — tenor
• Gabe Kunda — bass
• JE McKissic — tenor
• Jamall Williams — baritone

They earned their first taste of fame when they arranged, performed, and posted a soul-stirring a cappella rendition of "God Bless America," which went viral. The next year they posted a more classical a cappella performance of "Ubi Caritas," which also went viral, amassing over 10 million views.

A pivotal moment for the group was a shift away from a strictly gospel focus to explore a more diverse musical repertoire. They released their debut EP in December 2021, a warm, jazz-leaning holiday album titled Merry Little Christmas. In June 2022 they released a Bee Gees cover, "How Deep is Your Love," off their debut LP ROVE, which earned a GRAMMY nomination for "best arrangement instrumental or a cappella."

The group's name embodies their intentions as artists: "Kings" because they possess a charismatic power, moving forward with confidence, and "Return" to signify their mission to give back to the communities that have supported them.

They released their first full-length holiday LP, We 4 Kings, in November 2023.
