will return to Malaysia, to perform live on 9 April 2017, in Mandarin Oriental
Hotel, Kuala Lumpur at 8.30pm.
McKnight whose singing career
began in his church choir, signed on his first recording label at the age of 19
and by 1992, his self-titled album ‘Brian
McKnight’ was released. This was
followed by the album ‘I Remember You ‘in 1995. In 1997 his album titled ‘Anytime’ sold over two million copies

The success of ‘Anytime’ followed suit in 1999 with the album ‘Back at One’ soaring in sales of over three million copies; his
most successful to date. His musical career has earned himself 16 Grammy

In 2004, Brian McKnight co-wrote
the song Wait, with Malaysian born
Australian singer songwriter Guy Sebastian. McKnight has also collaborated with
diverse industry heavy weights of every genre with names like Quincy Jones,
Puff Diddy, Rascal Flats and Justin Timberlake to name but a few.
On behalf of LADS Entertainment
and LADS Inc., the Chairman, Dato Ilyas Mohamed quoted, “There is no better
time than the present to bring in an
artist like McKnight whose repertoire of laid back and soothing music is set to
bring world standard live performance back in the local music scene.
"It has indeed
been quite sometime since one could anticipate performance as such in Malaysia,
and we are proud to present him as a start to other upcoming famed
international artists this year”.
The opening act for the exclusive
night, which has black tie as its dress code, will be soulful Malaysian singer,
Elvira Arul.
Arul whom landed a role of a lifetime with Effie White in the
Asian Production of ‘Dreamgirls’ and
worked alongside international producer-composer extraordinaire, David Foster,
American Idol winner Ruben Studdard and Grammy winner Eric Benet, is set to
mesmerise patrons of the night.
Dato Ilyas reiterated LADS
believe that Malaysia is rich with culture and musical talent, however
opportunities are not always abound; hence concerts as this are a great avenue
for local artists to be featured.
Besides optimistically influencing the music
industry, event as this could also enhance the nation’s visibility in the
global map hence attracting in-bound tourist which is in line with Tourism
Malaysia’s aspiration.
