HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "height" is not recognized
Archy Marshall (born 24 August 1994), more commonly known by his stage name King Krule, is an English singer-songwriter, producer and musician. After a hectic and troubled childhood, he began recording music in 2010. He has released several EPs, and his debut full-length album, 6 Feet Beneath the Moon, came out in 2013 to positive reviews. His music is difficult to classify, with elements of various genres like punk jazz, hip hop, darkwave, and trip hop.
Life and career
Marshall's childhood was divided between his working-class, tolerant mother in East Dulwich and his strict father in Peckham. He claims to have suffered "a lot of weird shit" during this time, and at age 13 he began refusing to go to school. His parents were threatened with prison terms if they could not get him to attend again; he did not until his father dragged him there. He implied in an interview with The Guardian that he was diagnosed with at least one mental illness during this time and hated the medical system as a result. He also had insomnia, leading him to stay up late at night listening to Pixies and The Libertines, which inspired him to create "soundscapes."
