Ember Knight

Ember Knight is a Los Angeles-based multimedia artist known for their unorthodox blend of comedy, music, and theatrical performance. They’ve crafted a niche with projects like the whimsical *The Ember Knight Show* (a *Pee-wee Herman*-meets-Mr. Rogers web series co-created with partner Bobby McCoy) and the 2017 feature film *King of LA*. Their music, including the introspective rock opera *CHERYL* (2020) and the poetic *Radio God* (2022), often doubles as raw self-reflection, described by Knight as a “personal soundtrack for staring in the mirror and crying until the image is clean.”

A self-described misfit in LA’s art scene, Knight’s work has appeared on Adult Swim, and their web series won a Slamdance Audience Choice Award in 2022. They’ve released multiple albums blending theatrical storytelling with candid lyricism, including *The Disappointment Cowboy* (2018) and the tracks listed here, while navigating themes of self-acceptance and identity.
