KNOTHEAD'S story is one of ultimate triumph... From the ashes of a crippling methamphetamine addiction, KNOTHEAD has fought & clawed his way to sobriety... Believing that music saved his life, KNOTHEAD views his life experience based rhymes as a way to educate and inform... KNOTHEAD compromises nothing in his music, fearing that the death of it will launch him headlong back into the abyss of addiction and despair... Daily, he struggles... A man with nothing to lose, he seems to have everything to gain...

Evidence of KNOTHEAD's crossover appeal surfaced in May of 2006, when KNOTHEAD did the impossible for an underground "horror" rapper, and his biggest underground hit to date at that time, "Stompin" was featured on 104.5FM (defunct) Spokane's number one (at the time) top 40 hip-hop station. It was a huge achievement for such an unrepentantly underground act as KNOTHEAD to get such hardcore, abrasive, metal-based content on mainstream hip-hop radio.

In October of 2006, with local and internet buzz reaching a fever-pitch, (and finally feeling ready) KNOTHEAD returned to the stage after a five year public absence to satisfy the appetite for a live performance, and absolutely no one was disappointed...

2007 saw KNOTHEAD continue to perform live constantly across the Pacific Northwest. Already hot locally, KNOTHEAD went inferno in May of 2007, achieving airplay on a second mainstream broadcast radio station of different format, ROCK 94.5FM. After being discovered by on-air personality JP, KNOTHEAD entered the Rock 94.5 playlist with TWO tracks, and was a featured interview on JP's "LOCAL 945" program, which highlights the hottest local talent in the region. KNOTHEAD's first interview was so entertaining and popular amongst listeners that he is now a frequent subject of the segment.

KNOTHEAD's words and music continue to permeate, catching new ears throughout the world, as internationally, dozens of new fans discover KNOTHEAD daily... 2007 also saw KNOTHEAD make the transition from regional powerhouse to national underground name. Overseas interest in KNOTHEAD exploded as well, as vocal supporters from the UK, Europe, Japan, Brazil, and even Australia have discovered and begun to promote KNOTHEAD abroad.

In 2008 national artists began to tab KNOTHEAD for West coast regional support, exposing him to (in many cases) more than 1,000 new sets of ears a night.  Never a man to let opportunity pass by, KNOTHEAD capitalized, further spreading the word and vibe of his unique brand of metal-laced hip-hop. KNOTHEAD finally put a matching face & picture in the minds of hundreds of people already familiar with KNOTHEAD'S music, as well as walking out of each show with large numbers of new fans and supporters, further cementing his already strong status as a Pacific Northwest underground hip-hop heavyweight.

The fervent regional, national, and international demand for KNOTHEAD continues to build... The past is behind... The future calls...
