Book Brian McKnight
Brian McKnight, born in 1969, is a R&B singer who also writes, produces, plays several instruments and hosts radio, recognized for a strong head voice, a high belting range and fluid melisma. He grew up in Orlando, Florida, and later moved to Los Angeles, where he built a major career with smooth, romantic ballads such as "Back at One." He won an American Music Award in 2001, a Soul Train Music Award for best R&B or soul single by a male artist in 1999 and the NAACP Image Award for outstanding male artist in 2000. His work has been nominated for a Grammy for best male pop vocal performance in 1998 and for a MTV Video Music Award for best male video the same year. McKnight plays piano, guitar, bass and drums himself, and his concerts feature a polished, intimate set of love songs with beautiful vocals and warm humor.
