Brigitte is an accomplished, self-taught vocalist who has been performing and recording with various musical acts within the Canadian National Capital Region since the mid-90's. Having spent over two decades on the live stage, she has gained the experience, understanding and appreciation of what is required to deliver a strong and engaging vocal performance. Her main influences vary from: Freddie Mercury, Gary Cherone, Ann Wilson, Sammy Hagar, etc. Although a rocker at heart, her craft stretches beyond any one label. Her wide vocal range has allowed her to take on the Songbook and further exercise and demonstrate her versatility in most music styles. At a young age, Brigitte studied piano and basic theory with the Royal Conservatory of Music and in turn, applies her knowledge and skills through teaching and vocal coaching. Whether fronting bands or as supporting role as backup singer and/or keyboardist, karaoke hostess, competing in live showcases and even taking on booking arrangement tasks, Brigitte is most grateful to have covered and accomplished so many aspects in music… And this with only one set goal, that being “to simply rock out”!
