Brianne Bryant, known as Lady Bri, grew up in Cleveland singing along to Whitney Houston through a toy karaoke set. Houston’s music and uplifting persona made a strong impression on Bri and continues to inspire her to push her sound and find her own voice. Standing alone, defying the odds, and self-empowerment are all prevalent narratives in Lady Bri’s work. Bryant is also an acclaimed songwriter, having songs placed in many ads, shows, and movies. Most recently, her song “Affection” was featured in To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before: Always and Forever and “This Will Be The Day” was placed as the official theme song for All American Stories, a show on the CW Network. Her music has even received attention from the former first lady, who placed “Do What I Do” on The Official Michelle Obama’s Podcast Playlist alongside artists such as H.E.R and Lianne La Havas. Bri has also lent her voice to some of the world’s most iconic brands, with placements for Powerade, McDonalds, L.L.Bean, and CVS.
