Why choose the Squad Of Knights?
Since the dawn of music + technology we’ve seen amazing advancements in how creatives can come together. Yet still, to this day, it seems IMPOSSIBLE to find and connect with the right people to collaborate with. As we embark on this journey together, we will utilize our resources in the music, business and creative ecosystem to create forward thinking experiences with community members and industry professionals, as well as provide various tools to help solve this problem.
Connect and collaborate in real life
NFT holders will earn $KNGHT Reward Tokens based on collaborating with one another, completing challenges and participating in highly curated IRL (in real life) (+metaverse) activities to improve, empower and inspire one another. Keep track of everything in a cool Web3 member’s wallet.
We know “community” is a buzz word but, yes, the Squad Of Knights is quite literally all about COMMUNITY. Musicians need producers. Producers need singers. Rappers need beats. Visual artists need collaborators. Audio engineers need music to mix. Let’s come together and showcase the power of team building and real human to human connection. Why charge each other a fee when we can learn to HELP one another instead. All we truly need is collaboration.

The Squad Of Knights Project
WHY?
Finding people to work with is tough. Finding the RIGHT people to work with is even tougher. In the age of social media it’s still extremely difficult to connect and share creative energies with other people. The Squad Of Knights NFT Project is a long-term journey to solve this problem and put the focus back on real human to human connectivity. All we truly need is each other.
HOW?
Using the power of blockchain and Web3, we’ve created custom/private “members only wallets” where members can see their Squad NFT(s), $KNGHT Reward Token balance, unlock challenges, redeem Tokens for prizes & experiences, form squads, attend IRL invite only events, book IRL studio time and so much more. Our Discord will also harbor community building with no fluff and no people that “don’t wanna be here”.
WHO?
The team consists of a group of insanely passionate and creative individuals with a combined 20+ years of experience in music, technology, marketing and the creative industry. Squad Of Knights was founded by 2x Grammy Award winning multi-platinum music production veteran and innovator, Ramon “Illmind” Ibanga Jr.
