A native of Mooresville, NC, a small town located in the heart of North Carolina, my love for music began at the age of six when I studied the theory of music with piano lessons. My passion and thirst grew stronger over the years in part due to my grandfather having a professional Gospel group that ministered all over the country, so music was always around. Later in middle and high school, I played saxophone for over 6 years, which also included marching band. Some of the artists that have influenced my style of music are Tye Tribbett, Israel Houghton, Fred Hammond, Kurt Franklin, Musiq Soulchild, Brian McKnight, Luther Vandross, Tyrese, and Boyz II Men. I have studied their styles and techniques and wrapped them up and created my own unique style. I am a firm believer that God gives us love, but it’s up to each of us to sharpen our respective loves. Being in or around church my entire life, I recognized the power and deposit music makes. Coming from a large family where I was the “baby”, love always intrigued me and unlocked doors for me to communicate through rhyme in poetry and then later to writing songs. Since 1996, I have been blessed to have written over 3,500 songs expressing the rollercoaster ride that life gives each of us, but with a special ability; showing the value of love regardless of the genre. Since 1997, I have spent a vast amount of time studying, practicing, and in pursuit of perfecting my gifts as a psalmist, lyricist, composer and musician. In my service to the community, I have written many songs for weddings, theatrical plays and various social engagements. My heart’s desire is to be a staff writer within the music industry; helping to assist others dreams coming to pass. I enjoy listening to people’s musical needs and taking it a step further and producing what I hear. Outside of helping others in the industry, I plan to continue to record projects of my own to give back nuggets of wisdom learned over the years through song. An active ASCAP writer/publisher, I continually search for new and creative ways to expose not only the gifts and talents God has given me, but most importantly, expose to the world the Giver of all gifts; God Himself. My intentions are to conceal as much passion within each song and lyric of my music to show how precious a relationship is between a man and a woman or between God and His children. Back in 2007, I started Knox It Music Publishing Company in hopes of establishing an international company centered specifically on catering to the musical needs of artists around the world. I have been blessed to license and sell my music internationally throughout the years and performed countless times for many different venues. My attitude to never give up is not only a lifestyle that I live, but a hidden theme in the background of every song I write. My website is www.leeknox.net
