About Me

My name is Brianne and I have been a musician and performer for most of my life. Somehow I let go of the dreams I had when I was younger and I'm trying to get them back again. This is the story of a plus-size singer/actress/comedienne and her journey to make up for lost time and kick life's ass in the process.
