At 13 years old, Brianna Askie is already a recording artiste with two albums, which are still to be released and should be out by this summer. Her latest single, “All Hope Isn’t Lost”, is one she hopes will inspire those who might be feeling hopeless owing to the impact of the pandemic.
Born to a Guyanese mother in the United States, Bri, as she is fondly called, was ten years old when she began recording. But her passion for singing, she said, started when she was five and barely knew all the words to the songs she sang.
Her biggest stage performance to date was at a Black History concert through her school last year. It was certainly not her first live performance as she has previously been in the spotlight both at school and in church. Last year’s performance was huge, she said, as it was the biggest stage she has performed on to date. She said that to her, at first, the audience seemed tense, but they were just soaking it all in because by the end of the song, they broke out into cheers and applause.
