LAST NAME

From: http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/singer-elle-king-rob-schneiders-daughter-dropped-dads/story?id=34911637

"It’s not that I wanted to be a famous person. I wanted to be a performer," she said. "But I worked really hard and I did everything myself and I took a name that ... is my mother’s name ... I took that name because I wanted to be myself."

Her stepdad did a great job: not only does she now have a huge hit on her hands with "Ex's and Oh's," but her name is being mentioned as a lock for a number of Grammy nominations. 

As for her biological father, did he give her any advice about showbiz, at least? Did he ever try to talk her out of pursuing a career in the industry? 

"No," she said with a laugh. "He just wanted me to keep his last name!"
