We had the pleasure of interviewing Knox Zoom video!

Nashville based singer/songwriter Knox recently released his vibrant debut EP and announced his signing with Atlantic Records.

EP track “NYC” also receives an official music video, which made its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU and MTV Biggest Pop today. “Sneakers,” another EP track that was released last year, has proven a huge success already, racking up nearly 2M TikTok views overnight and 16M streams and counting.

Growing up in Ohio, Knox’s whole existence before he ever wrote a song was playing basketball, soundtracked by artists such as Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco, All-American Rejects, Lil Wayne, Drake and Ed Sheeran. The summer before he started at Ohio University, Knox finally picked up a guitar. He learned everything in those few months, self-taught through YouTube videos. Knox began playing open mic nights and by his sophomore year, his musical ambitions were so all-consuming that he dropped out of school, moved in with his grandma and began saving up money to start his life in Nashville. He made the leap in January 2019.

Knox used covid isolation time to work on his craft. His focus paid off: his songs caught the attention of John Harvie, who placed a few on his album, as well as Harvie’s label. Knox signed a publishing deal in 2022 but was struck with the urge to record a collection of songs he had been working on. The final result was How to Lose a Girl in 7 Songs, Knox’s debut EP. With his own songs ready, he now needed to build a fanbase. Knox began filming TikToks featuring his song “Sneakers, and one amassed nearly two million views overnight. “Sneakers” has since reached over 16 million streams.

Knox has since started to get on the road, opening for the Band Camino and Boys Like Girls (an emo staple he grew up with). “I'm six states away from home and there’s a thousand people in the audience that are singing the song that I wrote with my friends in my bedroom,” he recalls. “And that's when it gets you, when you see real people genuinely connecting to something that I made with my best friends. It’s the most unreal feeling in the world.”

Malia Civetz - End Of The Road

A FUN COVER/RE-IMAGINATION OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS BY NEW FOUND GLORY FEATURING THE AMAZING MAIYA SYKES ON VOCALS.

Head On Collision (SLOANE COVER)

Love it when you talk like that,
When you need something
Breathe your words down my back
Tattoo chills on my skin 
Love it when you talk like that
When you need something
You ain’t even have to ask
You could take it from me



Wrap your hands around my neck
Tell me I’m your favorite
Let me know that I belong to you
Light me like ya cigarette
Smoke it til there’s nothing left
Show me everything you want to do



It’s written in your eyes it’s all I see
Come and taste the fire you started in me
Let me be your darkest fantasy
Know you want it like that, like that, like that, like that, like that
Feels so good to be bad yeah

(Drop)

Feel your thoughts on my tongue
Taste your emotions
Take the life from my lungs
Drown in your ocean
Use me up until I’m numb
you have my devotion
Sacrifice for your love
I’m begging you just

Wrap your hands around my neck
Tell me I’m your favorite
Let me know that I belong to you
Light me like ya cigarette
Smoke it til there’s nothing left
Show me everything you want to do


It’s written in your eyes it’s all I see
Come and taste the fire you started in me
Let me be your darkest fantasy
Know you want it like that, like that, like that, like that, like that
Feels so good to be bad yeah

It’s written in your eyes it’s all I see
Come and taste the fire you started in me
Let me be your darkest fantasy
Know you want it like that, like that, like that, like that, like that
Feels so good to be bad yeah

GOOD TO BE BAD

Broke Boy (Stripped)

Did my own version of this beautiful Sasha Sloan song. Really connected with the lyrics and am constantly striving to make the most of each day while I am able to live and create.

things i never said

​​We had the opportunity to interview Leon of Athens on Zoom with video!
​​
​​Please share while we are #togetherathome ​🏠​
​​
​​"London based indie-pop star Leon of Athens channels the flamboyant beauty of Sufjan Stevens and Francis & the Lights, alongside a similar widescreen pop sensibility as Lauv and MARINA, who he has both supported. His album Xenos (EMI/Universal) is a beautiful, thoughtful piece of work. It showcases just why he has become a big live draw across Europe and his rising profile in the USA where he has been confirmed to appear at SXSW, Okeechobee, Firefly Music Festival, Summerfest and Shaky Knees. The album follows the highly acclaimed release of his debut album Global, championed by the likes of The Guardian, NME, Q, New York Times and more. It is produced by David Kosten (Bat For Lashes, Everything Everything) and is informed lyrically by the refugee crisis, the rise of the far-right in Europe and the US, but also personal upheavals: fractured relationships, lost faith, youth, freedom, and death.” - Spotify 
​​
​​PRAISE FOR LEON OF ATHENS
​​“Brainy pop inspired by Bernardo Bertolucci, inflected with electronic, folk and other flavours” – The Guardian
​​“Leon of Athens has mastered the art of electronica-tickled, horn-smattered, melodic pop.” – NME
​​“The Greek god of indie-pop” – Wonderland
​​“In this place where tragedy was invented, the song was joyful and sadly cathartic.” – New York Times
