In 2013, Knight launched his own production company, J.K. Creatives, Inc. Based in Los Angeles, the company oversees artists, songwriters, and producers, and produces music videos & short films. J.K. Creatives houses its own media department, where Knight creates and develops content for TV, film, and digital, from scripted features to non-scripted competitions and series.

Aside from his work, JaQuel operates his eponymous non-profit organization, The JaQuel Knight Foundation, targeting community focused initiatives aimed to build, uplift and inspire the next generation of artists. Through the foundation, JaQuel brings grants, scholarships and events to underrepresented groups throughout the globe. Most recently, JaQuel and his foundation partnered with various dancer relief organizations across the nation to launch The JaQuel Knight Dancers’ Relief Fund, providing grants and meals to dancers and creatives whose lives and work were impacted by the pandemic.

Born in North Carolina and raised in Atlanta, JaQuel currently resides in Los Angeles, where he continues to develop and innovate creative ideas for music’s brightest stars, the next generation of artists, and beyond.
