Nacido en la pequeña ciudad de Delhi (Luisiana), el guitarrista, cantante y compositor Bnois King es considerado desde hace tiempo uno de los mejores exponentes del jazz y el blues tejanos.

Procedente de una familia numerosa con siete hermanos y dos hermanas, durante su infancia estuvo muy influenciado por la música gospel y empezó a tocar a los ocho años, cuando encontró una vieja guitarra en el armario de su abuela y aprendió por sí mismo a tocar versiones de blues. Cuando aún estaba en la escuela, se unió a su primera gran banda, New Sounds, con sede en Nueva Orleans, y luego se trasladó a Houston, Texas, en busca de su gran oportunidad tocando la guitarra de blues y jazz. Desanimado al no conseguirlo, abandonó sus sueños durante un tiempo y se puso a trabajar como vendedor de coches, pero volvió en serio a la música a mediados de los 30, tocando la guitarra y cantando en clubes de Fort Worth y Dallas.

Sin embargo, fue un encuentro con el guitarrista eléctrico Smokin' Joe Kubek lo que le puso en el camino hacia un mayor reconocimiento. Se asociaron y el contraste entre los estilos de guitarra de Kubek, influenciado por el rock, y el de King, más suave e impregnado de jazz, resultó inesperadamente popular cuando empezaron a hacer giras juntos. Al principio, Kubek era considerado el líder, pero todo cambió cuando, al darse cuenta de que necesitaban un cantante, King asumió el papel interpretando canciones de blues en gran parte olvidadas que había aprendido de niño y tuvo un gran éxito; y cuando necesitaron material nuevo, escribió canciones originales propias. King y Kubek publicaron su primer álbum juntos, "Steppin' Out Texas Style", en 1991, y siguieron trabajando juntos con éxito hasta la muerte de Kubek en 2015.
