Biography
Holly Knight is an accomplished songwriter and musician. She has written hits for some of the biggest artists in rock and roll. Her songs have won three Grammys for best vocal performance in the rock category. She was voted Best Songwriter in Rolling Stones' 11th annual poll, along with such luminaries as Phil Collins, Paul Simon, Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen.
The New York native songwriter started studying classical piano at age four. By the time she reached her teens she was sneaking out of the house at night to see rock bands perform "I loved the outrageous lifestyle and rebelliousness of rock and roll, Holly says... 'My favorite songwriters have always been in bands, because they tend to be more artistically daring, more cutting edge. I guess that's why I've always enjoyed working with aggressive, rather eccentric rock singers. It's certainly kept my life interesting, and I've been lucky to work with some of the best."
