Personal life
Knight was born in Houston, Texas in 1992 and got a sister just a few years later. His sister and him were never really close but as a grown up he is happy that he has a sibling since he thinks otherwise he would be more selfish since he'd be used to everything being about him. He attended public school and graduated as an A/B student. He was pretty reserved when he was younger but opened up a lot when he got more involved with the music industry. Knight now has a girlfriend called Ciara. Knight has said his biggest addiction is caffeine and that his favourite tv show is The Office (U.S.) Another thing that all of Knight's fans know is that he loves orange juice, preferably from a local grocery store in Houston called H-E-B.

Music career
Awsten got his first guitar for Christmas in 8th grade. From that point on, he stayed very involved and would go to show smalls he played with other bands to hand out flyers to see if he could get his own band together. At one of these concerts he met Otto Wood, the current drummer for Waterparks. The Madden Brothers are one of the biggest influence to Knight and the band. Other inspirations are Sum 41, Good Charlotte, and Blink-182. Knight says he likes pop, rap, and radio music. A while later, when Waterparks was complete, the Madden Brothers got in touch with the band and told them they liked their music. The Madden Brothers had Waterparks fly out to LA so they could get signed to Equal Vision Records label.
