| We are still at it and
"it" has always been music. Since the earliest days The Kings have
wanted to be an original recording act. That has always been the goal
and after writing more than one hundred songs it is still the goal. The
Kings are aware of the ups and downs in the music business (having
experienced both) and have learned that the thing that no-one can take
away from you is the love of music and the ability to make it. If
people find this site through their interest in This Beat Goes
On/Switchin' to Glide we hope that they will find there is a lot more
to the band than those two songs. |

The Kings were
put together when Mister Zero met Sonny Keyes in Vancouver. Sonny is a
fabulous musician and songwriter and he and Zero wrote some songs and
after a while decided that they needed a band. Zero knew of some guys
from high school back in Ontario and that's when Max Styles and David
Diamond came on board. It became obvious after awhile that the backbone
of any band is its lead singer and Diamond had what was needed. Combine
that with the songwriting that Keyes and Zero were working on and the
guys knew they had the beginning of something. The fact that Diamond
was a genius songwriter on his own was unknown at the very start, but
his huge talent soon became a major part of what this band would
become. His incredible voice gave WhistleKing (soon to be The Kings) a
sound of their own. Any band that wants to get successful needs a voice
that as soon as you hear it on the radio, you know who it is. From the
moment the first demos were heard with Diamond singing the band knew
they could get somewhere if they could come up with the tunes. That is
when the work began and it took years of writing and rehearsing and
gigs to get to the point that, when opportunity came knocking, The
Kings were ready for it. To read about The Kings' story in greater detail please go to 'Discography' and click on any album cover for information on that period.
