I do not believe this individual meets WP:NBIO or WP:NMUSIC as I can find no substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. The basically unreferenced article has been created by a single-purpose account with a likely conflict of interest and I suspect that the article's creator, user Jak5674, is writing about himself.

I’ve updated the article and added published works from the newspaper and a magazine. Also, this user account is a publicist with Jak In The Box Productions, a production company that publishes sound and voice recordings. Please let me know if you have further concerns.

 * ...the production company/record label that releases Mr. Knapp's records? You have a conflict of interest then. Are there any other sources apart from two local magazines in Amarillo, where I imagine Mr. Knapp is based, that would demonstrate recognition outside of the city?

 * As noted by the nominator, "Jak" is in the username of the person behind the article. It's also in the company name and happens to correspond to the musician's initials. Maybe a coincidence... ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 23:11, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - Like the nominator I can find no independent coverage in reliable sources. The musician appears to be DIY, releasing his own music and getting it listed on the usual streaming and retail sites, but no reviewers or journalists have noticed. Wikipedia is not a forum for self-promotion. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 23:15, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
