Bria Kelly is a 16-year-old Virginia native and honor roll student who has been performing since age 11.

Bria started out by performing our National Anthem for local and regional sports teams, the Air Force and Navy, and for political, civic, charitable, law enforcement and veterans’ organizations.  At age 11, she won the Philadelphia Eagles’ National Anthem contest, and performed for 45,000 fans at an NFL game (just like 1st season winner of America's Got Talent, Bianca Ryan!)!  She has also performed for the Washington Redskins and the Baltimore Orioles.  She has performed the Anthem at large venues featuring Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, and Darius Rucker.  In all, Bria has performed the Anthem over 40 times to a combined audience of over a quarter-million people!  And she was the first official performer of Nashville’s CMA Music Fest 2010 by singing the Anthem there at Bridgestone Arena.

Bria won Altavista, Va’s 2009 Colgate Country Showdown singing contest and competed in the state finals.  Bria won Altavista’s 2011 Texaco Country Showdown contest, and went on to win the West Virginia-Virginia State Finals. 

Bria won Eagle97’s (WGH-FM) WinterBlast Challenge contest, and as a result, she was featured by Eagle97 throughout the year, and opened WinterBlast 2012 on the main stage at the Hampton Coliseum.

Bria won “The Performers of Hampton Roads”.  Bria performed her original song (“May Her”) at Norfolk’s Chrysler Hall during the 2011 Hampton Roads Gala, where she was selected the winner.

Bria was one of only 82 teens nationwide to be selected for the Grammy Foundation’s “Grammy Camp 2011”, in Los Angeles, CA.  While there, she was coached by the likes of Darryl Brown (songwriter for Keith Urban) and Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers.

Bria performed at Nashville’s Cadillac Ranch in 2008, and returned to perform during CMA Music Fest 2009.  Bria has appeared on TV, both on “Nashville Spotlight”, and also locally regarding her Philadelphia Eagles contest win.  Bria kicked off the City of Norfolk’s 25^th annual Grand Illumination Parade in 2009, where 100,000 people heard her sing throughout the streets of Norfolk, VA.

Bria writes original songs and plays the guitar, drums and keys, and during 2009 was the lead singer for The Bria Kelly Band.  She and two other band members opened for Miranda Lambert, and the band opened for The Carter Twins.  Bria was most recently the lead singer for CoastLand, which played a mixture of rock, country and blues.  CoastLand opened for country star Craig Morgan.
