Biography

Bri
The Princess of VA


What’s the recipe for success? Mix the powerful and passionate vocals of Beyonce’, the trendsetting fashions of Rihanna and the creativity of Prince. Blend it well. Then add the dance moves of Ciara and the entertainment of Janet. Let it marinade for 15 years and what do you get? The hottest and most talented songstress to hit the airways since the new millennium rocked our world…Briana ‘Bri’ Cornelius.

Born and raised in Virginia Beach, this phenomenon has been brewing with talent since the age of 3. Her humble beginnings are rooted in gospel music and she has established a repertoire that spans concerts, plays, live performances and recordings. With the support of her family, Bri patterned her musical abilities after her icon Prince by learning to play 4 instruments: bass guitar, piano, guitar, and upright bass. She’s an outstanding performer and entertainer with dance skills in hip-hop, ballet, tap & jazz. Bri has even crossed musical boundaries by singing her own rendition of Clay Aikens’ song Invisible on Walt Disney Records album "Radio Disney Chart Toppers". Her current endeavors are being developed by multi-platinum, Grammy nominated production powerhouse, TeamMusicGroup, LLC., who producers have worked with Destiny Child, Madonna, Missy Elliot, Notorious B.I.G, Ashanti, Mel B(SpiceGirls), Ruben Studdard and Black Street, just to name a few.

Pop and R&B haven’t seen a young sensation of this caliber since the likings of Alicia Keys and Britney Spears. Destined to be a global icon, Briana ‘Bri’ Cornelius is a throwback to the old school standards embodying the passion, talent, creativity and fashion that launched many careers as well as having the inspiration needed to create new classic material that will last for years to come.
