布萊恩‧麥肯奈特
不需多做介紹—布萊恩‧麥肯奈特在當代音樂史上為自己佔得一席之地。目前為止他一共發行了十一張專輯，其中有七張獲得白金唱片獎，有兩、三張甚至得到三白金，而他在全球各地的專輯銷售量超過兩千萬張。

在這藝人汰換率極高的產業，麥肯奈特總是輕易讓自己在排行榜上穩住陣腳，成功的巡演生涯持續超過十年，並與各類的藝人合作，包括賈斯汀、瑪麗亞‧凱莉、帕妃、克莉絲汀、雷可福磊斯樂團、尼利、凡妮莎‧威廉斯、威利‧尼爾森、肯尼吉。

以無窮的音樂才華，但卻持續在現有成就的基礎上耕耘，麥肯奈特跨越了不同環境的界線。他現正於黑人娛樂電視爵士台主持「與布萊恩‧麥肯奈特一起聽靈魂樂排行榜」節目。此外，在輕鬆爵士音浪電台的「布萊恩‧麥肯奈特早晨節目」也連續兩年都被評比為前五名。2009年布萊恩會拓展其工作領域，跨足聯合電台節目。預計開設新的脫口秀節目，暫時名為「今晚麥肯奈特」，並成為下一季「飛黃騰達名人季」的固定來賓。布萊恩運用其豐富的企業知識主持Extra!的星光大道節目，2007年麥肯奈特涉足百老匯，於【芝加哥】中飾演比利‧菲林。這是麥肯奈特第二次嘗試音樂劇領域，在2005年他於傑若‧迪奇的小說【益智風雲】劇場改編版中演出。2006年麥肯奈特為電影【爸爸的女兒們】編寫配樂，同年他發行最新專輯【十】。

但是麥肯奈特仍不忘他的最愛－音樂，他最近連續發行專輯，2008年11月發行聖誕專輯【我會回家過聖誕】，2009年2月發行【布萊恩‧麥肯奈特現場Live!】。

他也多次受到葛萊美獎提名，麥肯奈特已是美國音樂大獎、靈魂列車音樂獎、全國有色人種協進會形象獎、美國百事達獎、年度告示牌作曲人獎的得主
