Future Goals: CHIEF_KNOCKA_SNODO's Fight Against the Opiate Epidemic
In the next five years, CHIEF_KNOCKA_SNODO aims to impact stereotypes of mental illness, addiction, and chemical dependency disorders. He wishes to aid in the fight against the opiate epidemic that has been ravaging lives in the United States, including his own. Having lost his children's mother to an opiate overdose in 2017, and his 18-year- old son to Fentanyl in 2021, he is committed to spreading awareness about Narcan, a life- saving drug for those suffering from an opiate overdose.
A Father's Pain: CHIEF_KNOCKA_SNODO's Most Meaningful Songs
CHIEF_KNOCKA_SNODO's most meaningful songs are those dedicated to his children - "GEMMAS SONG" or "FINALLY HOME" and "NATHAN'S SONG". These songs were created from a place of immense pain and loss, changing his perspective on life and music. The loss has made him darker, obsessed with death, heaven, and hell, themes which are now omnipresent in his music.
Dream Collaboration: CHIEF_KNOCKA_SNODO and Kalichi
CHIEF_KNOCKA_SNODO expresses his desire to work with the artist Kalichi, who he considers a beacon in the music industry for those who have suffered loss and the destructive effects of addiction. He emphasizes the importance of his voice being heard in order to save others from suffering a similar fate, dedicating his work to his son, his firstborn child and namesake. His mission is driven by a desire to spare other parents from his painful experience.
Lastly, CHIEF_KNOCKA_SNODO wishes to commemorate his son, Nathan Michael Sammons. He ends his thoughts with a heartfelt message: "I loved you before I met you."
