SONOFDOV

From post-punk beginnings to melancholy daydreams, New Jersey based singer- songwriter, Dennis King AKA SONOFDOV, writes the kind of songs that “transport us and pierce us”. Growing up in the shadow of NYC, King spent his formative years banging around the lower east side club scene (CBGB’s, Brownies) and Hoboken’s Maxwell’s before settling into the alt-folk singer-songwriter of today. King released music that landed in films (coyote, Wander), TV (PBS, Discovery, NatGeo) and in 2019 King signed with Mint 400 Records releasing a full length record,Towers, along with a handful of singles and EP’s.
