For those of you who are not familiar with Knothead, if anyone like that exists, he is one of the most determined and hard working underground artists out there. His determination has made him one of the most coveted promoters out there and has landed him a spot on Strange Music's promotion crew for the NW. Knothead has had his hands in so many musical projects and invited to be on so many amazing shows, you would wonder why he is still underground music!
Knothead comes from a small town in Washington called Port Hadlock. A town, until I met Knothead, I didn't know even existed. With a population of approximately 3500 people, you can see why it may be less likely to be heard of then, lets say Spokane, with a population of approximately 471,000. During Knothead's darker days of drug use and life lessons, he credits his decision to becoming an artist to some "tweaker" kids he saw writing raps and songs. His first goal was to be better then they were at it. Knothead credits is recovery to music and meeting his wonderful wife. I have met her and she is definitely a rare treasure.
Knothead moved to Spokane to start pursuing music and his career. Knothead battled his inner demons and did something many people never do in their life time, he kicked the drug habit and grew from it. Becoming a person that you could trust, work with, and enjoy in your corner doing music and being a part of the event.
Knothead and his wife met up with local artist Tragedy 503 while doing shows and the friendship between them became strong. Knothead made the move closer to Portland and the area by relocating to Vancouver WA. From Vancouver Knothead can attend shows in both Portland and in Spokane, Kennewick area.
Knothead has come out with some amazing records and built a fan base that is full of ride or die fans who will drive hours to a show. Some of the albums to check out, and that can be found on his facebook, are Hadlock for Life, Knothead's Back 2.0, K.N.O.T. (the) Radio Vol. 1, and Never Fold Up. Knothead's music has grown in strength and maturity through the years. His lyrical content has gotten more in depth and his song style has shown that with age comes experience and the ability to put out quality work.
Knothead has new music videos out as well and having produced two music videos recently, that are going viral online, had boosted his credentials even more. The first release is Can't Count The Demons in which Knothead talks about dealing with addiction and recovering from those things that can hold you down and keep you from being successful in life. Next was the highly anticipated release of Never Fold UP, about dealing with life and every day struggles, staying strong, and never giving up.
I foresee much more to come from Knothead. He has a great support system in life, a great fan base, and the will power to rocket himself in to fame and fortune. If I had any advice to give you Knothead, it would be to Keep Stompin, right over the faces of anyone who tries to hold you down or talk shit. Cause we know you will NEVER FOLD UP!!
