He grew up in a music-filled environment. He is the second sibling of four children. His father, Filbert Girado, Sr. was a businessman and former member of The Bayanihan Vocal Group and his mother Daulet Girado, a nurse and also musically inclined.〔http://www.mb.com.ph/node/163591〕 He is the second of 4 siblings, brother of Asia's Diamond Soul Siren Nina. His Mom used to put him to piano lessons, but told his younger sister Nina to go for him instead.〔http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=272500〕 He possessed the talent indeed but the idea of being a singer was furthest from his mind. It was on 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.〔http://www.filipinomusica.com/king.html〕 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. King just respected the call to become a singer and joined his sister Nina as the frontman of the band MYMP.

And when it fell apart, Star Records offered him an opportunity.

He was accepted but told to wait for they were lacking some more members.〔http://www.mb.com.ph/node/163467〕 Eventually, the plan of putting up a local boy band was set aside and He was chosen to be a part of the ”Solo” album project, a three-in-one album, performing with two other artists.〔http://www.titikpilipino.com/news/index.php?aid=137&msgid=16898&offset=40〕 The three was launched to stardom as solo performer through Solo.
