Elle King is making a name for herself in Hollywood with her bluesy, raspy voice and a hit song on the soundtrack for Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara’s comedy Hot Pursuit. But what you may not know is that she is the daughter of Saturday Night Live vet Rob Schneider. 

The 25-year-old songbird’s debut album, Love Stuff, was released in February, and she’s even toured with Ed Sheeran. Elle’s mom, model London King, and her famous dad got married in Las Vegas three days after meeting, and divorced shortly after she was born. Today, Elle — born Tanner Elle Schneider — is stepping out of her parents’ spotlight, even changing her name for the stage. 

“As soon as I was 18, I took on my mom’s last name, because she raised me, and I wanted to be my own person,” she told Billboard magazine.
