In July 2011, Marshall began playing under a new moniker, King Krule, at a festival in Hyères, France.

He refers to his mental health issues, such as depression and insomnia, in some of his lyrics. He claims that the tests took a toll on him that the doctors, counsellors and psychiatrists were wrong most of the time that he hated everybody and that he would hide in his room for hours on end. Marshall has said that he was tested for several mental health conditions at London's Maudsley Hospital. He was later accepted into the Brit School to study art, where he struggled with discipline initially, but soon found his place. Once he turned 13 years old, he was given a private house tutor. Marshall recalls that his father had to physically carry him to school, otherwise he would skip and hide in his room. Throughout his childhood, he spent much of his time between his father's house in Peckham and his mother's house in East Dulwich his mother was much less strict than his father, who had many rules. During an interview with The Guardian 's Rob Fitzpatrick, Marshall said that from a young age, he experienced discipline issues and refused to go to school. His music blends elements of punk jazz with hip hop, darkwave, trip hop and post-punk.Īrchy Marshall was born to Rachel Howard and Adam Marshall in Southwark, London.
