About Me!
Hello! I'm Victor McKnight. I'm a producer, songwriter, and artist based in Minnesota. My work is based solely on and inspired by pop culture, most notably video games. My other industry experiences include cover and arrangement work, direction of tracking music and video projects, and being an online influencer.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. I was enthusiastically driven by the works of Nobou Uematsu (a self-taught composer for the original Final Fantasy games) and Yoko Shimomura (a classically trained composer for the Kingdom Hearts games).In my high school of 2015, I picked up Avid's audio production software, Pro Tools. I loved the program so much that I would, more often than not, skip my lunch period just to have another hour of experience each day with the software. With this production software, it gave me far more flexibility with my pursuits in the field. I found myself collaborating with instrumentalists that built their careers off of YouTube, and I quickly followed suit, covering songs from some of my favorite artists.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 would be one of a few of my original songs throughout the years that would acquire a captive audience. These experiences massively helped establish a foundation for my craft. 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 collaborative participant, project manager, director, and producer, among many other roles. Such works include a cover of "I Am... All Of Me" featured in "SnapCube's Real-Time Fandub Goes To Hell," a cover album titled "Until The End," complete with various song arrangements from Sega's "Sonic Frontiers," and collaborating with Sonic-affiliated vocalist Johnny Gioeli for an original song titled "Darker Side of Me," among other roles I'm incredibly grateful for.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
