He is the second child of four by Filbert Girado, Sr., a businessman and former member of The Bayanihan Vocal Group, and Daulet Girado, a nurse who is also musically inclined.[4] He is also the brother of Asia's Diamond Soul Siren Nina. His mom paid for him to learn the piano, but King told his younger sister Nina to go in his place.[5] While he did show talent, King did not entertain the idea of being a singer. It was during his teen years when he discovered New Kids On The Block. He was fascinated by the high-pitched falsetto of Jordan Knight and wanted to be like him.[6]

The love of music in the entertainment industry is too good to be resisted and King finally decided to try his luck in the music industry.
