Knower

Knower, an American independent electronic music duo, was formed in 2009 in Los Angeles, California. The group consists of Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi. Both members studied music extensively; Cole graduated from the USC Thornton School of Music's jazz program in 2009, while Artadi earned a bachelor’s degree in jazz studies from California State University Northridge and a master’s from California State University Long Beach. Their collaboration began after meeting through mutual connections in the local music scene. Knower gained initial traction by publishing their music online, with their first album Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi released in 2010. The duo's breakthrough came with the release of "3" (a cover of Britney Spears' song), which garnered significant attention on YouTube. Subsequent albums include Think Thoughts (2011), featuring songs like "Around" and "I Remember", and Let Go (2013). In 2016, they released their album Life. Notable collaborations include working with Pomplamoose on the single "It Goes On" in 2011 and performing at festivals such as Bonnaroo. Knower has also contributed to soundtracks for films and television shows, including a track featured in Grand Theft Auto V. Their music has been recognized by prominent figures like Quincy Jones, and they have toured extensively across the United States and Europe.
