King Sis[edit]

Brittney Nicole[1] 'Sis' Mills, known by her stage name King Sis, is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. She has lightly gained popularity on platforms such as Spotify and TikTok for her song Yeah You (Thinkin Bout You) released in 2020. She is signed to Swedish record label Epidemic Sound. Her debut album, Ascension, was released in 2021, followed by its deluxe version on April 30th, 2024. Sis has collaborated with other underground artists including her cousin DT Lamont, Vicki Vox, Alder and Mimmi Bangoura. Sources credit her vocal style to a lifelong history of singing in church and being influenced by gospel music, as well as by contemporary artists like Lauryn Hill and India Arie. [2]

Personal life[edit]

Mills was raised in the DMV and attended her grandfather’s church in Alexandria, Virginia, where she had her first vocal and her first dance performance at age seven; the time where she discovered her passion for the arts. After her time in high school, she founded two gospel groups, REIGN and His City.

Musical career[edit]

In 2014, Mills placed first in a singing competition at the Apollo Theatre, performing Killing Me Softly With His Song by The Fugees. She states that winning the spot at the competition was the thing that essentially gave her confidence. In recent years, Mills sang backup vocals for Kelela’s Tiny Desk concert. Her debut solo single was released in 2020, titled Tweet And Delete. On Instagram, Mills had stated that she had fully finished her recovery from vocal cord surgery to remove a benign cyst, and was joyful to be singing again for the first time in 6 months.
