Holly Knight

Holly Knight is a vital force behind the sound of some of rock's most powerful female artists, Holly Knight's iconic musical imprint is woven into the very fabric of the MTV generation. Throughout the 1980s, singer/songwriter Holly Knight composed anthems that became the soundtrack for millions of people's lives and also created and crafted empowering odes to independence, liberation, and equality. These universal themes have never been more relevant than they are today which is why we still hear her music every day. On television, films, and commercials, Knight's work has become not just ubiquitous – but also generation-defining. For all of the dozens of recognizable songs she has written, however, working with legends including Rod Stewart, Kiss, and Aerosmith, it was her collaborations with female artists that truly broke through, giving a new voice to women all over the world. Defiant, purposeful and ultimately triumphant, her work with Tina Turner, Pat Benatar, and the band Heart, among others, also helped pave the way for the next generation of defining female musical masters including Amy Winehouse, Adele and Lady Gaga. It was the music and words she wrote. But it was also the visual representations on MTV that helped define Holly's work for the masses.
