I used to play pianos in bars. You know in hotels, you'd see guys playing piano with a snifter? That was me, with a painted-on mustache. I was about 15.
Brian McKnight

I am at my core a singer/songwriter a la James Taylor or a la Billy Joel. It's not that I don't want to work with people, but I do just love doing my own thing.
Brian McKnight

I grew up in a time where anything was possible.
Brian McKnight

For me able to do the records I want to do and not have to worry about this producer or that producer or that trend, I'm not really interested in that.
