Kings Return is a vocal band of brothers: Gabe Kunda, Vaughn Faison, J.E. McKissic & Jamall Williams. The Dallas, Texas-based a cappella group formed in 2016 somewhat by accident; they first sang together for Gabe’s college graduation recital, then began posting videos to social media from the stairwell where they rehearsed. Their popularity exploded, and they have now amassed nearly 10 million views across all platforms. Kings Return has been recognized by Emily King, Anita Baker, Anthony Anderson, Joyce DiDonato, Apple, NPR, Dallas Morning News and so many more. Avoiding the confines of a single genre, Kings Return’s sound is proudly born of gospel, jazz, R&B/soul, and classical music. "The name Kings Return is a reflection of ourselves,” they said. “We are Kings who go forth to conquer, but most importantly we return to give back to our community."
