Bri (Briana Babineaux)

Briana Babineaux is a gospel and R&B singer, better known by her stage name Bri. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 26, 1994, she grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana, where her family originated. Raised by her mother and a pastor stepfather after her parents' divorce, she attended university before turning to music, which became her main occupation in 2015. After sharing videos of her own songs, Bri was signed by gospel label Tyscot Records, which released her debut album Keys to My Heart the following year. This promising debut is followed by two live recordings, The Encounter (2020) and The Encounter Continues (2021), before her music takes a turn towards urban R&B with the tracks "I Will Wait" (2023) and "Confident " (2024).
