Pretty songbird Briana "Bri" Babineaux, who boasts almost a half million followers on Instagram including Drake and Rihanna, is all packed and headed west to sing the National Anthem when the Los Angeles Sparks take on the Phoenix Mercury on Friday, June 17 @7:30 PM PST at The Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. She will also perform during the halftime show. The Louisiana native's premiere album "Keys To My Heart" (Marquis Boone/Tyscot Records) recently debuted at No. 1 on Billboard magazine's Gospel Albums sales chart and her "I'll Be The One" (available on iTunes: http://smarturl.it/qo5lrx) radio single peaked at No. 6 on its Gospel Airplay chart.

A former athlete herself, Bri played shooting guard on her high school basketball team and had a track scholarship to McNeese State prior to launching her singing career last year. Now, Bri is one of the busiest artists in the gospel world and has a full schedule of concerts this summer. Journalist Jon Caramanica recently profiled Bri's rise to the top of the charts in a New York Times profile story. Visit www.brination.org for more #Brination news and information.
