In late 1994, Knight signed a record deal with Dome Records, a small, independent label. Shortly after, she went in studio to write and record her debut album. The backbone of the project was produced by London production trio 2B3, with additional beats provided by Don E (Knight’s cousin), Ethnic Boyz and hip-hop act Blak Twang. Klarmann/Weber the German songwriter/producer team (Chaka Khan, Randy Crawford) also contributed two songs. The result was the album The B-Funk – hailed as “the best British soul album ever” by her record label when it was released in November 1995. Knight went on to win two Black Music Awards in 1996 (“Best R&B Artist” and “Best Producer” for 2B3) and was named Best R&B Act by Blues and Soul magazine, beating a host of American stars. However, the album only peaked on the UK album chart at number 145. Several singles were released from the project, the biggest being “Flavour of the Old School”, which peaked at number 33 in March 1996 when it was re-released.
The critical response to Who I Am was largely positive, with The Guardian stating that “every song bubbles with the kind of expensive, polished confidence that often eludes British contenders, and she sings with the poise of an artist at the height of her powers”, while the BBC remarked: “Who I Am marks a significant change in direction for this tenacious 28-year-old singer, signifying her own personal growth as a true artist and developing songwriter….on this her most personal work to date, she takes us on an intimate journey where she bares her soul with such raw honesty that you get the distinct impression a healing process is taking place”. The album earned her two Brit Award nominations (“Best Female”, “Best Urban Act”) and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2002
