Biography
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 self-titled album, Brian McKnight, in 1991. His third and final album for Mercury, 1997's Anytime, 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, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, and Quincy Jones. McKnight's latest album, Gemini, was released on February 8 2005.
McKnight has two children and is divorced. He currently lives in Los Angeles, California. Although rumors have spread (and been confirmed) of a possible pose for Playgirl magazine, after 9 years, this still has not yet materialized.
