Knox revamps, revitalizes, and re-energizes emo and pop-punk with a fresh punch. Growing up in New Carlisle, OH, he fell in love with music as a kid, obsessing over Fall Out Boy, All-American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, Panic! At The Disco, Hawthorne Heights, and more. In 2019, he relocated to Nashville and launched a career behind-the-scenes as a songwriter. 2022 saw him embrace the spotlight as a solo artist with the viral breakthrough “Sneakers”— which surpassed 49 million Spotify streams. Everything kicked into high gear with the arrival of “Not The 1975” though. It peaked in the Top 15 of the Adult Pop Airplay Chart, gathered 63 million-plus streams, and bulldozed the way for his 2025 debut LP, Going, Going, Gone. Of the latter, Melodic Magazine raved, “The debut is impressive in length and lyrical volume,” and GRAMMY.com promised, “Knox's debut album, Going, Going, Gone, perfectly captures the essence of his artistry.” Marveling at his sold-out Webster Hall show, Knox recalled, “the crowd down on the floor generated the kind of palpable electricity reserved for artists on the cusp of the proverbial rocket ship.” He also graced the bills of festivals such as Lollapalooza and Hangout Fest, appeared on tracks with Bilmuri and HARDY, and earned co-signs from Ed Sheeran and Matt Healy. After piling up hundreds of millions of streams, selling out shows, and earning critical acclaim, he returns home sonically and emotionally on his second full-length album, My Midwest Best [Atlantic Records]. These 12 tracks uncork a burst of Warped Tour-appropriate energy tailormade for soundtracking a montage from your favorite teen comedy, the best date you’ve ever been on, or a festival set at sundown.
