Andy Knipp
Jonathan (Andy) Knipp, better known as Jonathan The Artist. Most would describe him as reserved, but when it’s time to perform, he’s never shy about putting himself out there. Born in Huntington, West Virginia, this gifted virtuoso has always been musically inclined. Since toddlerhood, he has played a variety of instruments, including but not limited to the guitar, sax, bass, drums, piano, and even the French horn. He's also proficient in singing, rapping, and songwriting. Even though he has been classically trained from a young age, he never really saw himself stepping into the light of performing until he hit his freshman year of high school and noticed that people enjoyed hearing him sing.
Although it started as a way to gain attention from the ladies, he’d found that performing had turned into a love of creating and expression that he just wanted to share with the world. While his main style of music is hip-hop and R&B, he also seems to have a natural inclination toward other genres as well. He may like to keep to himself most of the time, but those around him find him a valuable part of their lives.
Music isn't his only passion; he has a proclivity for politics and debating. And he’s learned how to use that in his process, using his voice to prove a point to the world about the world and taking a stand against injustices. He has a voice that can shake the world if used correctly, but what makes him special are the things he uses that voice for. Constantly exposing the wrongdoings in the world and focusing on the things that really matter. He’s adamant about revealing the shitshow behind the curtain and sharing his knowledge and experiences with everyone. Some of his best hits are EP’s called Blessings pt. 1 and pt. 2, and Cursed. If you’d like to get an idea of his fresh take. He’s excited to release some more developed and in depth songs late in the summer of 2023, with a more specific type of style that he’s hoping to dive further into. You can catch his unique music on all streaming platforms.
