Connecticut-based singer-songwriter, Briana Maia isn’t just playing the game; she’s rewriting the rules. With an ethereal voice and a magnetic stage presence, Briana captivates audiences, inviting them into her vibrant, gaming-inspired universe filled with positivity and creativity. Her journey began on the theatrical stage, where she starred in regional productions like The Color Purple and Dreamgirls. But when she caught the eye of Kelly Rowland on BET’s Chasing Destiny, Briana took the leap into music, blending angelic vocals with storytelling that inspires confidence and self-expression.

For Briana, music isn’t just about crafting songs—it’s about inspiring others to level up in their own lives. And after gaining over 20 million views on her viral street performance, her music serves as a call to action: step into your power, embrace your journey, and don’t wait for permission to shine. She has shared the stage with artists like Michael Minelli, Avery Wilson and Peter Collins, and has graced Connecticut’s premier music festival, The Capitol Groove. As a sought-after songwriter, she’s penned tracks like “Stranger” and “Mirrors” for Les Twins. She is currently in studio finalizing her debut album, “Player One” set to release Fall of 2025.
