Heaven King

Heaven King was born on August 8, 2010, in Georgia, the USA. Her parents are Darnell Waiters and Tianne King. Her parents realised quite early that she was going to be a star. She learned how to walk when she was only eight months old. Soon after, she began to participate in her mother’s dance classes and would mimic the moves her mother would teach her students.

When she was two years old, Heaven King appeared alongside her mother and a few others in a dance cover of Beyoncé's ‘End of Time’. The video became a viral hit shortly after its release. She appeared in ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ on episode 20 of season 11 that also featured Daniel Radcliffe, Jack Osbourne, and Cheryl Burke and aired on October 4, 2013. This appearance eventually led to her meeting Beyoncé in person. Heaven has been featured twice more on ‘Ellen’. She and her mother were the guests alongside Ellie Kemper and Madonna on episode 124 of season 12 that aired on March 19, 2015. They also appeared along with Madonna, Jim Parsons, Bridgit Mendler, and guest DJ Stephen 'Twitch' Boss on the episode that aired on the following day.

In 2014, Heaven made her acting debut in the short film ‘Broken Tail Light’. Directed by Paola Mendoza, the film also stars Andres Munar and Jamie-Lynn Sigler and tells the story of an immigrant mother (Sigler) who is in a car with her daughter (Heaven) when they are stopped by a police officer (Munar) because of a broken tail light.

Heaven and Tianne landed their own reality show, titled ‘Raising Heaven’, in 2016. It aired six episodes on Go90 between 24 October and 28 November before cancellation. They also established a dance company named Heaven on Earth Dance Studio together in 2014.
