With a talent that spans across nine instruments, he has seven certified Platinum albums over the span of his career. McKnight’s work has earned him 16 Grammy Award nominations and seen him collaborate with some of urban music’s biggest names including Mariah Carey, P.Diddy, Justin Timberlake, Nelly and Australia’s very own Guy Sebastian. McKnight’s career has solidified him as a true icon in R&B’s constantly evolving music scene.

More Than Words is his 15th studio album to date, which includes a collaboration with Colbie Callat. The first single, ‘Sweeter’ debuted at #2 on Urban Radio when released earlier this year and features his signature heartfelt lyrics and melodic tempo. The album takes longtime fans back to the roots of Brian McKnight.

Returning from a 16 city US tour, McKnight will head to Australia before continuing on the road to Europe andAsia. Fans can always expect something different at each show with a set list featuring career cementing hits such as ‘Back At One’ and ‘Shoulda Been Lovin’ You’ mixed with new classics ‘Sweeter’ and ‘More than Words’. For Brian McKnight fans, this tour promises shows unlike no other with his full piece band that has never travelled to Australia with the artist before.

“It’s difficult because you always want to let your fans hear your new material, however fans aren’t coming to hear that material they’re just coming to hear all the classic songs they love. I always try to mix both and that keeps everyone happy,” says Brian McKnight.

Not stopping at just a career in music, the star has hosted his own morning talk show ‘The Brian McKnight Morning Show’ on popular US jazz radio station KTWV.
