Malaki and Wisdomtooth went to primary school together and for that whole time were the best of friends. When Malaki was 13 years old he emigrated with his mum and sisters to Seattle, USA. They ended up losing contact and for many years grew up in very different environments. The main thing that these guys had in common for all this time was indifference to the schooling system. While both were intelligent young men they felt excluded from their surroundings. 

Neither of them achieved academic success and soon found themselves wondering where their lives where going. Malaki moved back to the UK a couple of years back and soon hooked up with Wisdomtooth - ever since then they have been working towards their first album iEgo.

Although the style of Dr Knox's music is most easily defined as hip hop, they strive to make music that embodies their own experiences. This has led to a much longer writing process, whilst trying to make some sense of their own live’s through music. The Dr. Knox track Absolute Resolution of Feeling is featured on Leeds By Example
