Mikaela Straus Bio

Mikaela Straus known by her stage name “King Princess” is an American singer, songwriter,  Multi-instrumentalist and producer from Brooklyn, New York. She is signed to Mark Ronson’s label Zelig Records, an imprint of Columbia Records.

Straus was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Her great-great-grandparents were businessman Isidor Straus and Ida Straus, who both died in the sinking of the passenger ship RMS Titanic. She spent much of her childhood with her father, recording engineer Oliver Straus, in his Mission Sound studio.

There, she learned several instruments, including bass, guitar, piano, and drums, as well as music production techniques and insight into the music industry. Straus’s inspiration in those years had come from the rock music of the bands Led Zeppelin and T. Rex, as well as Jack White. After high school, Straus moved to Los Angeles to study at the USC Thornton School of Music. However, after a year, she dropped out in favor of her music career.

Straus speaks on her early childhood musical experiences in her father’s studio in an interview with FaceCulture. She was offered and refused a deal with a music label at the age of 11. Part of the reason Straus refused the deal was to contribute to her experience watching other artists develop their music with a music label in her father’s studio.

She explains that she has spent a great deal of time in her father’s studio and during this time, she was exposed to several different music artists as they worked on their music in the studio. Straus says that as she listened to the final production of the music, after the music labels would make edits on their artist’s music with her father, and she disagreed with how the music labels would change the feel of the artist’s music from its original form.

Therefore, she says that she did not want to sign with a record label until she was definite in her definition of her music and how she wanted the production to look like as well as who she wanted to work with.

In February 2018, King Princess released her debut single “1950”.”1950″ is a tribute to the 1952 novel The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith, to the LGBTQ community, and to queer love. The song reached a wide audience when British singer Harry Styles tweeted a lyric from the song. Straus followed this with her second single “Talia” in April.

On June 15, 2018, she released her debut extended play Make My Bed. Later that year, she earned Breakout Pop Artist of the Year honors from Vivid Seats. In 2019, it was announced that King Princess would perform at Lollapalooza.

Mikaela Straus 1950

1950 is the debut single by Mikael which was released back in March 2018. A song inspired by one of her favorite books, 1952’s The Price Of Salt by Patricia Highsmith, which became the film Carol, and draws parallels between hidden desire and queer love. It’s a song full of longing and desperate intensity. “Historically a publicly unaccepted but incredibly rich culture, queer love was only able to exist privately for a long time, expressed in society through coded art forms,” the super-smart artist shared on release.

“I wrote this song as a story of unrequited love in my own life, doing my best to acknowledge and pay homage to that part of history.” Her husky vocals tell listeners: “I hate it when dudes try to chase me, but I love it when you try to save me.” It resonated. Harry Styles quoted the lyric on Twitter, Kourtney Kardashian shouted it out on Instagram and now “1950” can be found sitting pretty with over 13 million plays on Spotify and counting. Not bad for a first single.

Mikaela Straus and Amandla Stenberg

Mikaela is gay and is said to be dating actress Amandla Stenberg from July 2018 till present. Amandla Stenberg came out as gay in an interview with Wonderland magazine in June. Coincidentally the person who made that interview was King Princess. I love their chemistry. I think that’s one of the best ways to make a coming-out interview: doing it with a person you love and trust!

In a recent Instagram live Amandla talked about King Princess’ upcoming album (I’m so excited) and revealed that they made a song together. I wonder what that’s going to sound like and if Amandla plays the violin. They’re such a power couple and very supportive of each other. I hope they stay together for a long time!
