Thunderous Knight aka Darrian Hayes describes his sound as “powerful, versatile, and unique, and can light up a whole room once you press play.” Hailing from Long Beach, CA, he currently resides in the Inland Empire in Southern California. He lists his biggest influences as Missy Elliott, Pharrell, Ludacris, OutKast, Kanye West, Lauryn Hill, Snoop Dogg, and Biggie Smalls. Music was in Thunderous Knight’s upbringing, as his mother was a rapper in Long Beach and his stepfather was a singer in Detroit, MI. Still, he did not begin to pursue music until around the age of 17. His parents told him that “music doesn’t hit unless it comes from the heart,” and that is something that he has kept close throughout his musical journey thus far.
Though yet to release a full-length project. Thunderous Knight has dropped off a handful of singles and jumped on a number of features.
