Briana ‘Bri’ Babineaux // Gospel musician

Briana Babineaux, affectionately known as ‘Bri’, is a social media phenomenon that is making a compelling impact on the millennial generation. The riveting vocalist and exotic beauty rose to sudden fame after a friend posted a dramatic video of her singing 'Make Me Over' on YouTube and the rest was history. She quickly amassed over 300,000 Instagram followers and the type of pandemonium reserved for rock stars or tabloid celebrities. Big name producers and record labels started courting Bri to record pop music but she passed on the deals because her heart is rooted in Gospel music. “I want to minister to people,” she says. “I wanted to be with a label that would help me spread the gospel in song and Marquis Boone offered that.”
