His 1999 Back at One album sold over three million copies, and he has collaborated with such musical personalities as Mase, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Mary J. Blige, Vanessa Williams, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, and Quincy Jones. McKnight's latest album, Gemini, was released on February 8, 2005. McKnight has two children and is divorced. He currently lives in Los Angeles, California. Although rumors have spread (and been confirmed) of a possible pose for Playgirl magazine, after 9 years, this still has not yet materialized.
