Awsten Knight

Awsten Knight is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist in Waterparks. The band was founded in 2011 and has since released three EPs and four albums.

Awsten is known to make his fans lose their minds by leaking music and dying his hair a different color for every new album. For example: for the second full-length album Entertainment (2018), he dyed his hair purple, and for the third album, Fandom (2019), he dyed it green. After a short period of his natural brown hair, his hair is now short and dyed a mix of pink/red, yellow, and blue.
