Despite his success as the frontman of Dire Straits, as well as a successful solo career, Mark Knopfler admits he still doesn’t consider himself a singer.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer was a guest on the Rockonteurs podcast, where he explained his unusual self-appraisal.

“I still don’t regard myself as a singer at all,” Knopfler confessed. “It took me a long time to think of myself as a guitar player, never mind that. And then as a songwriter, that took a while. And singer, I just never even counted.”

Knopfler went on to discuss his distinctive vocal delivery, a style he attributed to blues and folk influences. Though he insisted he “certainly didn’t consider myself much of a singer,” Knopfler revealed one artist in particular who helped him feel comfortable behind the mic.

Your story could still come across. As long as you meant what you were doing.”
