Musical artist

Richard Nakhonethap, known by the stage name Knock2, is an American DJ and music producer from San Diego, California.[1] His music typically combines elements of bass house, trap, and many other musical genres.[2] Nakhonethap is also a member of ISOKnock, an electronic music duo composed of himself and ISOxo. He has collaborated with popular EDM artists including Dillon Francis, Nghtmre, and RL Grime.[3] Nakhonethap's increase in popularity has been attributed to energetic DJ sets at standalone shows and festivals in combination with viral social media marketing.[4] [5] [6]

Early life

[edit ]

Introduced to DJing in middle school, Nakhonethap took an interest in music production due to his involvement in his middle school's breakdancing club.[7] Nakhonethap reportedly began DJing at 11 years old and taught himself music production by watching production tutorial videos on YouTube.[8] Nakhonethap would go on to attend Rancho Bernardo High School in San Diego where he would continue DJing attracting the interests of artists such as Diplo and Flo Rida.[citation needed ] At age 14, Nakhonethap would meet Julian Isorena, better known by his stage name of ISOxo, at the San Diego County Fair where the two were scheduled to DJ.[9] Nakhonethap and Isorena would go on to collaborate heavily on future projects and shows.[10] Nakhonethap has cited NGHTMRE as one of his biggest inspirations.[11]

Career

[edit ]

In 2020, Nakhonethap released the single "What's the Move" in collaboration with Henry Fong and General Degree.[12] On February 5, 2021, Nakhonethap released the single, "Dashstar*"[13] which found immediate success and, as of 2024[update] , is his most streamed song. In the same year, Nakhonethap featured in Dancing Astronaut's Artists to Watch in 2021.[14] "Dashstar*" was the third most played song at Electronic Daisy Carnival Las Vegas in 2022.[15] On August 6, 2021, Nakhonethap released his debut extended play, 2Hearts,[16] which featured five tracks.[17] A deluxe version of the extended play was released on September 9, 2022, featuring two additional tracks.[18]

On January 27, 2023, Nakhonethap released his second extended play, Room202.[20] [21] The extended play featured six tracks and a debut headlining tour accompanying the release titled the "Room202 Tour" which included 13 stops.[22] Additional stops were added to the tour including a four-day grand finale at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.[23] On August 18, 2023, Nakhonethap released a deluxe version of the extended play titled "ROOM202 dlux" which added two additional tracks.[24]

On August 1, 2024, in collaboration with ISOxo, Nakhonethap's debut album under ISOKnock, 4Evr, was released.[25] [26] [27] The album featured eight tracks and was released by the 88rising label.[28] In the same year, ISOKnock performed at Coachella.[29]
