Vocal ability
Brian McKnight has mastered his voice. Though it's never said that Brian took speech level singing or studied with Seth Riggs, he have found a way to develop his mixed voice. He sings, like Vandross and many other artists, with no strain while going up into his higher notes. The skill to produce higher tones is not entirely falsetto; McKnight applies head voice with his falsetto and sounds stylistically different.

Brian McKnight has a four-octave range and is able to maintain his voice in higher registers. The transition between his falsetto and head voice is also smoother than most singers.

Brian McKnight is still creating beautiful music fifteen years after releasing his self-titled debut. The secret of Brian McKnight’s rhythmic patience comes down to his ability to create everlasting music.

With the release of Ten, McKnight’s first disc for his new label Warner Bros Records, the Grammy-nominated singer could not be more pleased with the outcome. Having penned and completed about thirty-three new songs before signing on the dotted line, McKnight was more than ready. “Right now, I am optimistic of what I can do in my new situation.”

The landscape of soul music has gotten younger, but that fact did not hinder McKnight’s creative process. Brian says “I’m not going to be dancing on BET, but at the same time I believe my material will appeal to everyone from teenagers to older folks.”

After 16 million albums sold since his self-titled debut, but on ‘Ten’ he artist in himself felt the need to be more revealing. “As a songwriter my biggest challenge has always been finding new ways to say old things,” Brian says

Working on a variety of projects including a talk show and soundtracks for two upcoming Tyler Perry projects, the veteran soul singer could not be happier with the outcome of Ten. “When I finish a record, I listen to it from beginning to end,” McKnight says. “Truthfully, I think this is the best record I’ve done in years.”
