A Colorado native since age 4, Steve Irelan is paving the Rocky Mountain path with custom beats and dirty basslines. Having grown up in a musical family, the itch to create started at a young age for Irelan, making lifelong connections with various forms of music since age 10. Inspired by artists ranging from Hendrix to the Beastie Boys, Irelan left his childhood in the mountains after high school to head to Denver to thrive in the music Mecca. Progressing from taking guitar lessons to setting up jams with musical strangers, the desire to form something new and profound continued to grow. His musical focus quickly shifted from playing the guitar to producing beats after discovering the electronic music scene while attending school in Boulder. While working a graveyard shift at a Boulder recycling center, Irelan came upon a glitch-hop artist of a neighbor who would soon become his mentor. After 6 months of producing at an amateur level with the help of said neighbor, he dropped out of school to follow his dreams to New York City, where he studied at an electronic music production school. Irelan packed up his belongings and the eons of inspiration he had found in the city and headed back to Colorado where he is currently working on the release of his upcoming album entitled Keep Cruising. Due out in the spring of 2013, the album will be available for free download to all who wish to indulge in its contents. In its regards:
'Music is extremely personal for me, and every sound I hear can be associated with my life in some way. My own music is almost like a photo album for me, or a history book going back through the different times in my life. As for other people and new listeners, I hope my music can give them a new perspective on something, maybe inspire them, or maybe even just help them get away from reality for a few minutes, said Irelan of his musical contributions. 'Knobby Roots is my creative outlet to the world. I get so much inspiration every day from the world around me! Whether it is from my family, friends, strangers, music, art, tv, or anything, Knobby Roots is my way of showing thanks. And honestly, I couldn't describe the music if I tried. I just make what I like to hear and hope that it sounds good when I'm cruisin.'
