About Me

Brianna likes to write songs and has been doing this for quite some time. She enjoys it muchly. She has been singing for a long time, plays her guitar & bashes away on her piano. She writes best first thing in the morning. Brianna is completely deaf in her right ear. This frustrates her often. Mono sound is not as cool as Stereo sound (or so she's told). She has just finished work on her debut album "Harlequin" which is very exciting. 15 tracks is a lot for one CD. You should buy it...or at least have a listen here on her myspace! Brianna has been extremely happy to see wonderful female artists emerging within the Music Industry, including the lovely Regina Spektor, Imogen Heap, Goldfrapp & Sarah Blasko and is hoping that there may be a space for her in there somewhere too. She likes chocolate and doesn't like fishing. Enjoy the music!
