Why this name?
KNOCKINATIONZ is my music publishing Co.
I chose Knockinationz as the title, because I want to move people on different lands and different soils. Plus, I strive to make music that hits (impacts) you so hard, it may just, "Knock" you off your feet. So instead of just knocking 1 nation, the nation of babylon. I want to knock many nations, Knocking Nations = Knockinationz.

Do you play live?
Of course I play live, I'll play anywhere, music's my passion. I once heard someone recite my lyrics and had them memorized. That changed me forever.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It only helps with streaming audio.
