With modern-day, lyrical proverbs dedicated to his 4-year-old twin boys, new Word Artisan singer/songwriter/guitarist and now producer, Wes King is back with his first CD release in nearly four years. What Matters Most takes the listener on a journey as a father shares with his sons the truth about life and God.

As you read the notes written in the CD you see a glimpse of King's heart for this project as he states, "I had a conversation with my wife a few years ago about when and if I would ever make another record just because that is what I do. I wanted to do something that would help arouse passion, feeling, and a sure consideration of those things in this short life that truly matter."

King, the youngest of five children raised in Winder, Georgia, goes on to speak of the desire to raise his sons, Harrison and Mitch, with a system of values. King attributes this to his personal faith, which he discovered at much the same time as he discovered his talent for music, specifically the guitar. The summer prior to entering high school, King's father gave him his first guitar. After only one lesson by a buddy who had accompanied him as he played Elvis for a school show, King came home to play the new song he'd just learned. It was at this point that his King's love for music grew right along with his natural talent.

A friend of the family heard King playing one day and pushed him to enter an Atlanta talent competition. After much coaxing, King finally gave in and now fondly remembers a time when he and his father drove around in his dad's 1972 candy apple red pickup truck in order to pick up the radio signal where he would hear for the first time his contest winning song played over the air.
