Bruce Knight began his music industry career working with an independent record distributor in Detroit, which distributed local and national recording artists to various music outlets in the mid-west region. His first major label was ABC-Dunhill and expanded his knowledge in music sales with MCA, Phonodisc, and Polygram Records soliciting new releases of various musical genres including Gospel, Jazz, R&B, Country & Western, Classical, and Top-40.  He advanced his sales career to multiple chain retailers and soon was responsible for corporate clients such as Handelman and Wal-Mart. He added radio promotional responsibilities with the legendary Casablanca Records. His mentors Neil Bogart, Jeryl Busby, Ernie Singleton, Rubin Rodriguez, and Cecil Homes encouraged him to expand his knowledge of other areas and relocated to the southwest region of Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. His artist roster helped most of them to sell in excess of one million records! He returned to Detroit as National Director of Promotion and Marketing for Crystal Rose Records a Detroit-based gospel label founded by Detroit Attorney Benjamin Whitfield, Producers Michael Powell, Donald Lawrence, and Brian Spears. They have recorded such artists as Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers, Ricky Dillard and New Generation, The Thomas Whitfield Company, Chris & Kyle, Gabriel Hardeman, Rodney Posey, Twinkie Clark & The Florida A & M Gospel Choir and Brenda Waters.
