Clarksdale, Mississippi, did more than give Christone “Kingfish” Ingram a hometown. It placed him inside one of American music’s most important landscapes, where church music, Delta blues, R&B, rock, and hip-hop could all become part of the same musical language. Born on January 19, 1999, Ingram grew up hearing artists including Robert Johnson, Lightnin’ Hopkins, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, and Prince while members of his extended family sang and played in church.
His fascination with the blues intensified after his father showed him a documentary about Muddy Waters when he was a child. Ingram later studied through the Delta Blues Museum’s arts and education program, learning from Bill “Howl-N-Mad” Perry and Richard “Daddy Rich” Crisman. Perry gave him the nickname “Kingfish,” and Ingram’s instrumental development moved from drums to bass and finally guitar, giving him the instincts of both a rhythm player and a commanding soloist.
Ingram began performing around Clarksdale while he was still in school, appearing at venues including Red’s Lounge, Ground Zero Blues Club, the New Roxy, Shack Up Inn, and the Delta Blues Room. In November 2014, he performed at the White House with the Delta Blues Museum band for an event hosted by Michelle Obama. His reputation spread quickly through festival appearances, television performances, and endorsements from established blues musicians.
His reach expanded beyond conventional blues stages in 2018 when he appeared in the second season of Luke Cage. The series and its soundtrack featured his performances of “I Put a Spell on You” and “The Thrill Is Gone.” That year, he also joined Rakim for an NPR Tiny Desk Concert, bringing his guitar into a setting that connected Delta blues expression with hip-hop history.
Ingram’s debut album, Kingfish, arrived in 2019 on Alligator Records. Produced by Tom Hambridge, the record introduced “Outside of This Town,” “Fresh Out,” “Been Here Before,” “Before I’m Old,” and “Hard Times.” The album topped Billboard’s Blues Albums chart, received a Grammy nomination, and established Ingram as one of the most visible young artists in contemporary blues.
His second studio album, 662, followed in 2021. Its title referred to the telephone area code covering much of the Mississippi Delta, while songs including “Another Life Goes By,” “She Calls Me Kingfish,” “Long Distance Woman,” “Too Young to Remember,” and “Rock & Roll” connected personal experience with the history and continuing evolution of the blues. 662 won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album in 2022.
Live in London, recorded at The Garage in June 2023, documented the scale and force of Ingram’s stage performances. Along with extended versions of songs from his first two albums, the set introduced “Midnight Heat” and the instrumental “Mississippi Night” and included his version of Michael “Iron Man” Burks’ “Empty Promises.”
Ingram launched Red Zero Records in partnership with Exceleration Music and released his third studio album, Hard Road, through the label in September 2025. The eleven-song record broadened his sound through blues, rock, soul, and R&B influences on tracks including “Truth,” “Bad Like Me,” “Nothin’ but Your Love,” “Crosses,” “Clearly,” “Hard to Love,” and “Memphis.”
The same period brought several prominent collaborations. Ingram appeared with Brooks & Dunn on “Hard Workin’ Man,” contributed to music connected with the film Sinners, joined Buddy Guy for “Where U At,” recorded “Brown Liquor” with Ally Venable, and teamed with Joe Bonamassa for “Paying the Cost to Be the Boss.” In 2026, he appeared on United By Music America’s “LISTEN” while continuing the Hard Road tour.
This A-to-Z catalog includes Ingram’s studio recordings, officially released live versions, soundtrack performances, non-album singles, remixes, and selected recordings where he received a named featured or co-artist credit.
