KNOTZ BIO

KNOTZ


TESTIMONIAL:
"The show was great! The guys were very professional and soooo easygoing. They were right on time, had a great soundcheck and were so easy to please in terms of hospitality! Also, the crowd loved them, they really got the audience going and their performance was great. Thank you for all your help, I'm so glad Knotz was able to come all the way out to Keene!"

- Keene State College S.A.C. (message to  Knotz' manager following the 4/18/08 opener for Chamillionaire)

PERFORMANCES:
300+ venues in the past five years.

MAJOR ARTISTS SUPPORTED:
Chamillionaire, Common, The Roots, Busta Rhymes, Talib Kweli, Ja Rule, Papoose, MF Doom, Rahzel, Immortal Technique, J-Hood, and Fruit Kwan (Grave Diggaz).

The three blood brothers that make up the group Knotz are on a personal mission to revive the ailing hip-hop scene. Their energy-packed performances blend conscious lyricism and crowd participation to set their live show apart from the hip-hop fray. Colleges, universities, and commercial venues agree that this group is something special to see live.

The Independent Artist Registry named Knotz the 2007 "IndiE Award" winner for Independent Artist of the Year. Several magazines and industry source books such as The Music Phone Book, Mic Magazine, and An'R Magazine in Australia featured Knotz in 2007.

Two Thousand and Eight started with a bang with the group showcasing at the  Millennium Music Conference 12 (MMC12) in Harrisburg, PA in February.  The Knotz were selected as a FINALIST for "Best Duo/Group" for the 2008 Central PA Hip-Hop Awards.  Members of the Independent Artist Company (IAC) also nominated their song “The Bounce” for the prestigious IAIA 2008 Golden Kayak Award for “Best Hip Hop/Rap Song."

You can find feature articles on Knotz in the January-2008 issue of Jenesis Magazine, the February 22, 2008 issue of Sharp Magazine (Pocono Record), and in the April-2008 issue of Lyricist Magazine.

Supported by a professional artist manager, business manager, and publicist, the Knotz team makes it easy for promoters to book a professional show. Venues can also count on Knotz to show up on time and never cause a disturbance at their school or place of business.
