CONCORD — Shaun “Shauny B” Smith is an artist and magazine owner who publishes Knocksmith Magazine about twice a year. Having grown up around Pittsburg with a major affliction for rap and hip hop music, he set out in 2003 to start his own record label, which then morphed into Knocksmight Magazine.

While he ran his magazine since 2016 with a focus on print, featuring local talents from around the Bay Area, with a focus on highlighting Antioch and Pittsburg areas, he recently started changing his focus to other pursuits. He launched a Knocksmith TV channel on the Roku app to feature his homemade videos, started doing more online marketing work with other companies and has been experimenting with AI programs to make new ads for other clients outside of music.
