|
Jordan Knight (born Jordan Nathaniel Marcel Knight, 17 May 1970, Worcester, Massachusetts) is an American singer-songwriter best known as the lead singer of the boy band, New Kids on the Block (NKOTB), which rose to fame in the 1980s and 1990s. He is best known for his distinctive falsetto style of singing, influenced by The Stylistics.
Jordan Knight was a member of the boy band New Kids on the Block along with his brother, Jonathan Knight, as well as Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood. The band was assembled in Boston in 1984 by producer Maurice Starr. The group sold over 70 million albums worldwide, generated hundreds of million of dollars of concert revenues, and paved the way for later boy bands like Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. New Kids on the Block disbanded in 1994. Jordan became a father on August 25, 1999 when his son Dante Jordan was born. He and wife Evelyn welcomed second son, Eric Jacob Knight on February 21, 2007 Jordan Knight made a comeback in 1999 by releasing his first solo single "Give It To You". The single reached #10 on Billboard Hot 100, it went Platinum selling over a million singles, and was nominated for a 1999 MTV Video Music Award for Best Dance Video, though he didn`t win. The single also peaked at #35 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The album Jordan Knight won an Aspire Music Award for Best Male Album (Pop). He became a father on August 25, 1999 to a son, Dante Jordan. Jordan`s self-titled debut album was then certified gold for sales of over 500,000 copies in the US on July 7, 1999. The album peaked at #29 on The Billboard 200 and #9 on the Top Internet Albums chart. Knight released a remix album Jordan Knight Performs New Kids on the Block in 2004. Knight was a judge on the American Idol spinoff, American Juniors. He was a third season cast member on the VH1 reality television series The Surreal Life with other D-list celebrities in 2004. He later appeared in the 2007 spinoff The Surreal Life: Fame Games, but left during the filming of the premiere episode because of the death of his maternal grandmother. In 2005, Knight appeared on the British show "Hit Me Baby One More Time", where he performed "Give It To You", as well as a cover of "Let Me Love You" by Mario. In September 2005, he also starred in a British documentary on five in the UK called Trust Me - I’m A Holiday Rep. Six celebrities spent 10 days in the role of an Olympic Holidays holiday rep in Ayia Napa, Cyprus. He initially lacked enthusiasm for the role, which he blamed to some extent on his shyness, but came to enjoy it. In his final debriefing he earned praise from the head reps, who said they would (hypothetically) offer him a job as a children`s and transfer rep. Jordan was also a celebrity appearing on Identity, hosted by Penn Jillette. |
