“Anything you wanna be, make it a possibility,” singer Christine Elise croons on “Lead the Way,” a song by Elise and her musical partner, Kuf Knotz. The two musicians don’t just advocate for forging one’s own path — they live it. Take their unique musical pairing: Elise is a classically trained harpist with a background in music therapy, and Knotz is a poet and hip-hop artist who has opened for the likes of the Wailers and Lauryn Hill. Incorporating hip-hop beats, live instrumentation, singing and rapping, the Philadelphia-based duo is dedicated to creating what it describes as “positive, forward-thinking music driven by a strong message.”
