Brian McKnight has been making music since 1991.

The first time he entered a recording studio, he says he was motivated "to pick-up where Marvin Gaye left off."

That's an inspiring comment from a young man who wants to continue the elegant tradition of smooth classic soul.

The Buffalo, New York native, born on June 5, 1969, is also aware of the changing nature of rhythm and blues today.

He notes in his official biography that "the landscape of soul music has gotten younger." Despite this reality, Brian adds "I believe my material will appeal to everyone from teenagers to older folks."

With this challenge in mind, comes Ten, a new release from Brian on Warner Brothers Records, his first for the label.

"Used to Be My Girl" is getting a big push from the album.

As the ladies can tell you, Brian McKnight has mastered the softer side of soul. Ten maintains his dominance within this genre.

To learn more about Brian's secret formula for success, the official Brian McKnight biography (on his website) tells all.
