Sun King Rising is a professional moniker/alter ego of an American geneticist and biomedical research scientist, John Blangero for his music albums.[1] The project was founded in 2018 and has released two albums, Delta Tides and Signs & Wonder, under the record label of PeacockSunrise Records.[2]

Overview

At age five, John Blangero began taking piano lessons in New Castle, Pennsylvania and developed an interest in music.[3] After five years, he learned the fundamentals of western classical, gospel, and rock music.[4]

Blangero then joined a rock band at his school when he was fourteen. Later he co-founded his band Harlequin as his regional popularity amplified in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[3][5]

He continued with the band Harlequin until he joined college and focused mainly on his studies.[5] In 1986, he earned his PhD and became a biomedical research scientist.[6]

In the 2000s, Blangero started playing live for blues bands in San Antonio, Texas.[1] In 2018, he launched his professional moniker Sun King Rising. In 2019, Nick Katana after rebranding his music company Melodic Revolution Records to PeacockSunshine Records, signed Blangero for Sun King Rising.[7]

In 2020, Blangero hired Steven "Ace" Acker, a member of a 1970s band named LAW, to produce his first album Delta Tales, which was released on October 02, 2020.[8][7] In the same year, he released an independent video song Free Will in China Blues.[9]
