About Aaron Knight

Knight was born to a low class family in Newburgh NY to parents suffering from addiction so ultimately he was raised by his grandma in Sunnyside, Queens. His first passion actually was Basketball, which he was very good at in fact. He helped perennial powerhouse Christ The King win a City and state Championship. He soon then fell out of love with the game and fell in love with the music. Knight was always an avid poetry writer, so that combined with his rapping, singing and harmonizing made him an untouchable force. He’s created his own sound by infusing hip-hop with elements of pop, trap, and new age R&B. Through his originality, Aaron is able to create music for a diverse group of people; from young, old, to a variety of races.
