Born in Nashville, Tennessee and raised in Mississippi, artist/songwriter, Brieanna James, is no ordinary girl. Her parents, Kimberly and Brice James,noticed early on that she was a natural performer and was born into the world with music in her heart.Growing up in the south, she was influenced by country music and loved watching “Hanna Montana” listening to Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. Both Miley and Taylor inspired her to want to act and sing at a very young age. With the full support of her family, Brieanna’s parents relocated to Los Angeles in 2008 when an agent asked her mother to bring her in for meeting upon seeing her headshot from a mutual associate. Once signed, she immediately started booking commercials and it wasn’t long before she booked national commercials for Puppy In My Pocket, Hasbro, Stride Right and a dozen others. The intended 3-month visit to LA turned into seven years and counting. While she enjoyed acting, she decided to turn her focus back to her first love – music.Now at 17 years old, Brieanna’s musical talent has blossomed, turning her into a talented and driven artist and songwriter.

She is excited to share her music with the world and capture hearts and fans on a journey that is only beginning.
