Sacramento Knoxx, born Christopher Yepez, is an American Ojibwe/Chicano artist, musician, and activist, from Southwest Detroit. His music mixes elements of electronic music, ghettotech, afro-latino, hip hop, soul, and R&B.
Knoxx was born in Detroit, Michigan, but his upbringing was heavily influenced by his family's connection to the Walpole Island Reserve in Canada. His father and paternal relatives reside there, and Knoxx spent a significant part of his childhood on the reserve.
From a young age, Knoxx displayed an interest in music, dance, and the visual arts. He often experimented with various mediums inspired by the physical formats of the time, such as VHS tapes and Polaroid photos.[1][2]
