Brian McKnight presented Matt Cusson, who is currently touring with him, with the coveted Maxell Song of the Year prize from the 12th annual John Lennon Songwriting Contest. McKnight's keyboard player, whom he has mentored, was surprised when the headliner announced Cusson's win on stage at Morton Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, Texas and gave him the Lennon Contest's top prize, a $20,000 check courtesy of Maxell Corporation. McKnight said of the songwriter/performer, "Matt has an incredible gift." Mr Kamemoto, President of Maxell, and Kurt Yanagawa, Vice President of Sales Support, were on hand for the presentation.
