Behind The Scenes
Exclusive Interview with Producer “Stevieknocks”
How did you come by your brand name?
I got my name from one of my friends where I grew up, they called me Knocks because every fight I got into I knocked the guy out, My middle name is Stevie, so I put both together and came up with Stevieknocks.
When did you discover your love for your craft and what made you realize you wanted to pursue a career in it?
My Parents use to put a small radio in my crib when I was a baby so I grew up loving music as a kid but it wasn’t till I was about 22 I realized officially music was for me for good, Producer / Legend Dr. Dre inspired me to become a Music Producer.
To what or whom do you accredit your sense of style?
I would credit my father he always taught me to be myself to the core so I live by that! Rip Dad.
On your current project, how did you come up with the concept?
I was in Miami with T-Pain and bro was wearing some really fly shoes, and where I’m from we say skates when you wearing some dope shoes, so I named my new project Skates which is set to release September 30th.
What are some of your greatest challenges, and what is your greatest attribute when it comes to your work ethic?
The greatest challenge was at the beginning of becoming a full-fledge producer I was homeless and you know when your homeless you can’t really focus on the music you have to focus on keeping a roof over ya head so I bounced around a lot until I was able to get a job and save up some money to get my own place. ! I accomplished that and been pushing ever since.
Are you the best at what you do in your opinion?
Yes, of course, don’t get me wrong it’s plenty of dope producers out there but I would be stupid to say anyone is better than me, that’s like Jordan telling everyone Lebron or Kobe is better than him .. he would never.
What are your plans for the near future?
My plan is to continue focusing on working with artists, snatching up those big placements, I’m also working on my own music which will feature a few big artists.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank, any shout outs?
Yes, I would like to thank you my mother and father for putting that radio in my crib when I was a baby and anyone who gave me a shot or supported me from the beginning I know who you are! Thank you
