Knyck Russell (knostalgia) has been studying guitar and piano since the age of 6. He began composing music at the age of 10, while growing up in Berkely Heights, NJ. He started live performing at the age of 13 and I picked up djing seriously at 18. Since then close friends and industry peers, local artists and performers have had a monumental impact on his growth as a musician, specifically artist/performer Sweats and fellow-DJ Gadlee. Influenced by the soulful reggae his father played during his adolescence and minimalist house music during the EDM-fueld craze, gave way to a love for writing and genre-free enrichment that paved the path for his sound today. All these musical threads have resulted in a interwoven tapestry that represents his rhythmic and melodic persona brought into a modern symphony of hip-hop and dance music.
