Mini bio of Brian McKnight · 1130 days ago by Back at One
McKnight’s musical career was spurred by a musical childhood, in which he was a member of the church choir and a bandleader in high school. Encouraged by his older brother Claude’s band Take 6 getting a record deal, McKnight sent out demo tapes and, at the age of 19, signed his first recording deal with Mercury Records. He released his first album, Brian McKnight, in 1992, I Remember You (his sophomore album) in 1995, and his third and final album for Mercury, 1997’s Anytime. It sold over two million copies.
Moving to the Motown label, McKnight continued his successful career. His 1999 Back at One album sold over three million copies, and he has collaborated with such musical personalities as Mase, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Mary J. Blige, Vanessa Williams, For Real, Mariah Carey, Regine Velasquez, Boyz II Men, Christina Aguilera and Quincy Jones. McKnight’s latest album, Gemini, was released on February 8, 2005.
McKnight also has two lovely young children but sadly he is divorced from his wife. He currently resides in LA, California. Interestingly enough, rumors have spread (and often been confirmed) of a possible erotic nude pose for Playgirl magazine, but after 9 long years, this photo shoot still has not come to pass.
