How to Hire BRIAN MCKNIGHT For Your Event!
Brian McKnight (born June 5, 1969) is an American singer, songwriter,
actor, record producer, radio host and multi-instrumentalist. He is most
recognized for his strong head voice and high belting range.
His discography includes 15 studio albums (including two Christmas
albums), six compilation albums, more than 40 singles, and 19 music videos.
McKnight has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide.
His expansive repertoire has always been rooted in the gospel and jazz on which he was weaned while growing up in Buffalo, New York – reared in a musical family that includes older brother Claude
McKnight, a founding member of the vocal group,
Take 6.
Hire Brian McKnight for your festival or concert plans.
A talent of prodigious proportions early on, Brian McKnight was proficient on keyboards, guitar and trumpet by high school years and leading his first band, a jazz-fusion unit at the age of 17. After tenure at Oakwood, a Christian College in Huntsville, Alabama, he met longtime co-writing partner Brandon Barnes and began recording demos. He signed with the Mercury label at age 19.
His first album, 1992's "Brian McKnight" (which featured the classic ballad, "One Last
Cry"), and 1995's "I Remember You" (which included the sterling cover of
Van Morrison's "Crazy Love"), achieved platinum status.
Hire Brian McKnight to entertain your company's special event.
He produced tracks for
Boyz II Men's "Christmas Interpretations," scored a Top 3 duet with
Vanessa Williams' "Love Is," sang on Quincy Jones' "Q's Jook Joint," appeared on the soundtrack of "The Addams Family," performed "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)" on the NBA "AT 50" compilation, recorded with
Diana King the title track of the Academy Award-winning Muhammad Ali documentary, "When We
Were
Kings," and has produced Take 6,
Chico DeBarge, and Xscape among others.
McKnight's blossoming brand power was in full effect in
1998 when Motown, Mercury's sister label, released Anytime. Collaboration-choked with such A-list players as songwriter Diane Warren,
Mary J. Blige, and the Trackmasters production team, the LP's combustive first single, the top 20 pop hit, "You Should Be
Mine," a collaboration with hip-hop superstar Sean "Puffy" Combs, immediately took off.
Hire Brian McKnight to entertain at that special anniversary.
However, it was McKnight's own "Anytime," the album's elegant, solemnly soulful title track,
that sparked a chart and sales run unprecedented in McKnight's career. "Anytime" garnered 11 award nominations – including 2 Grammys (Pop and R&B Male Singer categories), American Music Award, MTV Music Award, Image Award, and Blockbuster Award – and received a Soul Train Award for Best Male Singer. A triumphant concert tour showcased
McKnight as fans had never before witnessed under the white hot lights: dynamic, unusually self-assured, and funny.
Brian McKnight closed out 1998 with "Bethlehem," his very first collection of Christmas songs. He also participated in the inspirational soundtrack from the Dreamworks animated epic "Prince of Egypt" and the accompanying NBC-TV special. Mid-1999 saw McKnight duet with superstar
Mariah Carey, a
longtime McKnight fan, on the track "Whenever You Call," featured on Carey's multi-platinum #1's album package.
In 2004, McKnight co-wrote the song "Wait" with Australian
soul artist Guy
Sebastian, which appeared on Sebastian's Beautiful Life album.
In January 2018, Brian McKnight was nominated for two
NAACP Image Awards. He was nominated for Outstanding Male Artist and Outstanding
Album for Genesis (alongside
Bruno Mars,
Charlie Wilson,
Kendrick Lamar,
Jay-Z and
Mary J Blige).

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE BRIAN McKNIGHT?
(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire BRIAN McKNIGHT for an event?)
(i.e., what is BRIAN McKNIGHT booking fee to perform at an event?)
Official booking fees for BRIAN McKNIGHT, or any other celebrity, are
determined based on a number of factors and may change at anytime without prior
notice.
Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of
event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist's calendar,
whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the
artist's concerts, the current demand for the artist's music, market activity, etc.
As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are
prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist's price to increase as
the artist becomes more popular or decrease when becoming less popular.
Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a
range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at anytime.
Generally, the
artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any
particular offer from a talent buyer.
