Born June 5, 1969 in Buffalo, NY.

Brian was a musical child in a musical family. Growing up, he was a member of his church choir the fifth generation of Seventh Day Adventists and the youngest of four brothers and in high school, he was a bandleader. Others in his family have musical talent as well: when Brian was still small, he and his brothers formed a musical quartet, with their role models being Gospel groups like the Swan Silvertones and the Mighty Clouds of Joy.

Superstar Status:

Brian wound up recording three albums while signed to Mercury. His eponymous debut came in 1992, then his second LP, I Remember You followed in 1995. But it was Brian’s third and final album for Mercury, 1997′s Anytime, that saw McKnight blossom into an R&B superstar. Anytime went double platinum in the U.S. (selling over two million copies) and was nominated for a Grammy.
