Full Biography
Briana Washington is a dynamic singer, keyboardist, arranger, producer, and songwriter born and raised in the San Fransisco Bay Area. She channels the essence of icons such as Alicia Keys, Nina Simone, and Patrice Rushen. Briana discovered her advanced musical ear at the tender age of five as a self-taught pianist; she began singing as soon as she learned to talk. Her soulful, alternative R&B sound — and who she is as a performer, producer, and arranger — is attributed to her strong roots in gospel, as she grew up in the church. Thanks to her accumulated professional musical training throughout her adolescence, she then was able to earn a full-ride scholarship to Berklee College of Music. Briana was a piano major and obtained her Bachelor of Music degree. She is currently based in Los Angeles and has toured the world with a range of artists such as Hans Zimmer, Kehlani, Raye, Ari Lennox, and Doechii to name a few.
