Hailing from the Mexican border fence of south San Diego, Joe Knox was the first of his family to be born in the United States. Joe began his musical career at the tender age of four with a simple fascination for his father's guitar. By age six he received his first musical instrument, a fake guitar that made sounds with various buttons and knobs; a gift from his great uncle that would forever change his life. It wasn't long before he plunged head first into his God given obsession. Mastering classical guitar by high school, Joe was a prodigy of musical theory. His intuitive sense of musical direction brought him to endeavor in jazz and musical production.
At the end of high school Joe was accepted to the University of California, San Diego's prestigious new music program, where his ability continued to grow. At UCSD, Joe found his musical mentor in acclaimed jazz pianist Kamau Kenyatta; well known for his musical works in jazz, and with pop groups like New Kids on the Block, and SWV. In Joe's third year of college he was awarded a 199 scholarship to continue his musical education strictly with Mr. Kenyatta, which he maintained till graduation.
After college Joe worked as a full-time session musician, as well as producer, for MIG Records Inc. and Stamina Entertainment Inc., a subsidiary of Universal. He directly worked with multi-platinum producer/songwriter Melanie Andrews, whose artists include Earth, Wind, and Fire and Janet Jackson, at Melody Makers Studios in Newport Beach, California.
In 2006, Joe Knox ventured off and opened up his own independent record label/production company, Iris Avenue Records, with his two lifelong friends Atlee "Tha Anthem" Urquhart and Kyle Ginter. He recently finished production on his upcoming sophomore release entitled "The Wheel of Fire." The album is scheduled to be released Fall '09.
Currently, Joe is producing Iris Avenue Record’s artist Tha Anthem's sophomore LP entitled "Act Right or Get Left.” He is also presently enrolled on scholarship to UC Irvine's ICIT Program (Integrated Composition Improvisation & Technology) under the tutelage of acclaimed pianist Kei Akagi; pianist for Miles Davis, to obtain his Master's Degree.
