Artist Overview

Bri Babineaux (born Briana Babineaux) is a contemporary American gospel singer and songwriter who rose from social media viral fame to become one of the most prominent voices in modern worship. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana, her career was launched by a “spontaneous worship” video recorded by friends in 2014, which gained millions of views and caught the attention of stars like Rihanna and Drake. Her sound is a sophisticated fusion of R&B, throwback soul, and traditional gospel, often referred to as “soulful worship.”

Her 2016 debut album, Keys to My Heart, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart, featuring hits like “I’ll Be the One” and “My Everything.” Beyond her solo work, she is a frequent collaborator with the Maverick City Music collective, appearing on tracks like “Love Is a Miracle” and “Holy Ghost.” Known for her athletic background—having attended McNeese State University on a track scholarship before pursuing ministry—she brings a disciplined and high-energy presence to the stage.

In 2026, Bri Babineaux is in the midst of a major career chapter with the rollout of her highly anticipated third studio album, tentatively titled Soulful. She started the year with the release of her soulful single “Grace” on 24 April, 2026, following the late 2025 success of her R&B-infused ballad “All.” This current era of her music focuses on a mature, “Christocentric” R&B sound that bridges the gap between secular production quality and spiritual depth. She remains an influential voice for a younger generation of believers, consistently leading worship at major conferences and via her massive digital following.
