The driving force behind Larry King Orchestra and Soleil Moon, Larry has been involved in every facet of the entertainment industry from the time he was a young boy. He began at the tender age of seven and although his schedule was busy with performances on stage and screen he managed to feature in 52 commercials before the age of 13.
He became nationally renowned for his writing and vocal ability and experimented with various projects including his band Human Factor which was signed by Caliber Records, (Los Angeles, CA) a division of Warner Brothers.

Cola, Coca-Cola, Gatorade, Enterprise Rental Cars, Long John Silver, Pizza Hut and the CD ROM game ‘You Don’t Know Jack’, to name a few…
In 1997 Larry conceptualized and formed ‘The Larry King Orchestra’. He hand-picked eleven top notch musicians and vocalists to form what became one of Chicago’s premiere private event bands. LKO has now grown to a 22 piece orchestra and has had the pleasure of performing with artists such as Nelly, Lionel Richie, Journey, Bruce Hornsby, Cheap Trick & Joan Rivers for clients such as Rudy Giuliani, United Airlines, Exelon Corporation, Advocate Charitable Foundation, Northwestern Memorial, Sepracor (Lunesta) & Kyle Busch (NASCAR).

The guy has such a phenomenal range and texture and it goes perfectly with my guitars.”
