Brielle Davis' love of performing began at the age of eight, and by 12, she had signed her first record deal with LGM Records and started work on her self-titled debut album. Her single September's Sweet Child was released through Columbia Sony in January 1998, and her album followed six months later.
Soon after, Brielle was nominated for New Talent of the Year at the 1999 Australian Country Music Awards, making her the youngest nominee ever for the prestigious Golden Guitar Award. She has received extensive coverage in global media, with many of her performances televised throughout the Asia-pacific region, and the US entertainment magazine Billboard, noted Brielle as an 'ARTIST TO WATCH'.
Brielle has served as an Australia Day Ambassador since 1999 through to 2010, and was the first performer to sing the Australian National Anthem at the Sydney Olympic Stadium. She has performed for former NSW Premier, Morris Iemma, Sydney Lord Mayor, Clover Moore, Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, and former US President, Bill Clinton.
Many of Brielle's performances have assisted a variety of charities and community causes, including the Starlight Foundation, the Variety Club, Ronald McDonald House, Wesley Mission, National Family Day and Earth Hour. And proof of Brielle's versatility as a vocalist, she has performed with a range of leading artists, including Julie Anthony, James Morrison, Lee Kernaghan and the legendary Slim Dusty.
Brielle took a break from the entertainment industry, and studied Science at Sydney University. During this time, Brielle realised that performing was her one true passion. She then returned to the music scene in 2006 to work on Serial Thriller, her first studio release since 1998's Girl's In Love.
Serial Thriller debuted on the ARIA chart in at #44, and the follow-up single Take It Off, which was remixed by US house producer Andy Caldwell, peaked at #11 on the ARIA Club Chart. Serial Thriller also gained national airplay as part of the Nova network's Unsigned initiative and in radio ads for the Leukemia Foundation's World's Greatest Shave campaign. Take It Off soared to the top of the Canadian BPM:TV Charts, where it remained in the Top 10 for a number of weeks.
The latter half of 2007 saw Brielle continuing her many charity commitments. This included a FACE (Forces Advisory Council of Entertainment) tour of the Solomon Islands to entertain Australian troops stationed overseas, before returning to Sydney to record her first acoustic EP.
Crossing The Line was released in September 2007 at Brielle's acoustic showcase at The Vanguard (Newtown, Sydney) and less than six months later, Brielle was asked once again to entertain Australian troops - this time in Iraq and Afghanistan. The tour was filmed by crews from Australian Story and aired on ABC1 as a two-part documentary, telling the brave story of the performers and the heroic troops serving in these countries.
Brielle also explored her love of the stage, and played the role of 'Elaine Harper' in Joseph Kesselring's 'Arsenic and Old Lace' at the Cronulla Arts Theatre in 2009 and in 2010 completed the 12 Month Showreel Course at Screenwise, Australia's Leading Film and TV School for Actors.
A veteran of the Australian live music scene, Brielle is a versatile and dynamic performer. She is not only renowned in the industry for her considerable singing and performing abilities, but for being friendly, and quite simply, down to earth.
