About Me

Hi I'm Bridgette and welcome to my myspace page!

Please do send and keep sending your lovely messages and comments and I hope to see you at one of my shows! x x x




The Times named her as the female artist to watch in 2008. North London based Bridgette is currently in the studio working on her album with some extremely exciting producers and French cult artist Sebastien Tellier whom she has been personally asked to support on tour in the UK & Europe. She's also the lead vocalist in the critically acclaimed act 'Oi Va Voi' where she replaced KT Tunstall, touring the world from Moscow to New York, and has also worked with the likes of The Nextmen and Basement Jaxx & The Earlies. She recently performed live on Jonathan Ross’s BBC Radio 2 show and was a resident performer at London’s exclusive 'Masque of the Red Death' cult theater production. Bridgette features on forthcoming albums from both Oi Va Voi and the Part Time Heroes, and holds a monthly residency at London’s Soho Revue leading up to the release of her debut single and video with her album to follow.

"Relative newcomer Bridgette Amofah dominates the action centre stage!" Evening Standard

"She somehow manages to marry Bill Withers with Dido and sounds great" -THE TIMES
