About Me!

Hello... I'm Victor McKnight!I'm a producer, songwriter, and artist based in Minnesota who's works are based solely on and inspired by pop culture; most commonly video games!My love for music skyrocketed at the age of 13, when I was recommended by my orchestra teacher to start experimenting with composition and arrangement. Following this suggestion, I quickly began collaborating with creatives online, including those at the helm of indie game development. In the start of my career, I was largely influenced by the works of Nobou Uematsu (a self-taught composer for the original Final Fantasy series) and Yoko Shimomura (a classically trained composer for the Kingdom Hearts series).In high school, I picked up Avid's audio production software, Pro Tools. I fell in love with the software and would, more often than not, skip my lunch period just to have more time using it. I found myself eventually collaborating with instrumentalists that built their careers off of YouTube, and I quickly followed suit, covering songs from some of my favorite artists and videogames.In 2018, I wrote one of my first original songs inspired by a video game franchise titled "Face Reality," and it went viral throughout the game's community. This experience, among the projects I've been a part of since then, massively helped me establish a name for myself. I would then work for the next few years refining my skills as a composer and producer, taking up courses at McNally Smith College of Music and also at the Institute of Production and Recording, the latter of which I am now a graduate of.Since this time, I've been involved with numerous projects as a project manager, director, and producer, among many other participating roles. Such works include a cover of "I Am... All Of Me" featured in "SnapCube's Real-Time Fandub Goes To Hell,"  a full cover album titled "Until The End,"  complete with various song arrangements from Sega's "Sonic Frontiers," and collaborating with Sonic-affiliated vocalists Johnny Gioeli for an original song titled "Darker Side of Me,"  as well as Bentley Jones for another original song titled "Aurora."I now run a label called "House of McKnight Publishing" - aimed at lifting up artists and songwriters around the world. My goal as a producer is to help inspire others to chase their own dreams, just as I have chased mine! I am very humbled by the experiences I've had thus far, and I hope to have many more in the years to come.Thank you for reading!VM
