Brielle Von Hugel’s dynamic, soulful, emotive voice and personality can be described as modern-day vintage. This singer/songwriter mixes pop-edge with yesterday’s bluesy, smoky tones to give her musical storytelling grit—unapologetically honest and straightforward—commanding her audience to not just listen—but to feel. Brielle brings refreshment back into pop music, where her singing takes center stage underlining her reputation among her contemporaries as a voice to be reckoned with.
“I didn’t know you had that much swag. Almost like a little Janis Joplin in there! That fearlessness at such a young age,we love it!”-Randy Jackson
Brielle always took music seriously and, from a young age, entertained audiences. Music runs in the family—her dad was a doo-wop vocalist. Her powerful pipes have garnered her multiple television and press appearances, such as: FOX’s Good Day New York, Industry Magazine, and various fundraisers including the March of Dimes, the TEAL Walk, and Michael's Cause. She has sung the national anthem at Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium in her home state, New York! At age 16, Brielle was one of the Top 12 girls’ semi-finalists on Season 11 of
American Idol.
“What I love about you is that you are a true performer. You come out there and you eat it up. You understand what it is like to entertain. I love that.”-Jennifer Lopez
Brielle’s YouTube videos have amassed over
10 million views and her stripped down cover of
Katy Perry's, "The One That Got Away" has over 75
million streams on Spotify, reinforcing her popularity

her myriad of talents, received spotlight attention from Billboard.com, Mashable, RyanSeacrest.com, Hollywood Gossip, Michael Bublé and Haley Williams of Paramore.

“She has a rare gift as a vocalist to combine old and new and still connect with the audience.” -Scott Bradlee
Brielle’s music is a soul journey—through her work and everyday life she encourages her fans to be themselves and not to judge others. A lyric from her future release, “Stereo” summarizes how Brielle—through her music—practices what she preaches, of how she’s been liberated from the confines of conformity and secured wings of her own: “I’m not better, I’m just different.” And so, she continues to soar.
Brielle continues to write and record while performing live. She currently has a residency in Atlantic City, NJ and has just released a 7 song original EP entitled, "Broken Beautiful". All of her music and covers are available to stream/buy on all digital media outlets.
