Michael Knott is a prolific singer/songwriter and frontman for a multitude of bands, many of them Christian. Knott has released some 35 albums, including solo albums and, most familiarly, records with the rock bands LSU and Cush.

Knott's music has not been without controversy in Christian circles, particularly due to profanity in the song "Rocket and a Bomb" (from the self-titled release of his former band Aunt Bettys) and original artwork in that album of Jesus Christ as a bartender.

Knott explained some of his views in an interview with HM Magazine, saying, "Basically, I'm a human being and I believe in Christ, period. It doesn't make my life rosy, it doesn't make my life terrible, it doesn't do anything with that. I know Christ."

Michael Knott is also an accomplished painter. He frequently paints under the name 'Gerard.' His artwork has been used for cover art on many of his own releases as well as releases by The Choir, Charity Empressa, and others.

Michael Knott was the founder of the now defunct independent record label, Blonde Vinyl Records.
