Briggs is known for her wide-ranging musical style blending folk, pop and electronic music into a unique sound. Her debut track “Wild Horses” reached #1 on Spotify’s US Viral Chart and #2 on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 charts. She’s had some sync licensing success as that song also was placed in Acura’s 2016 TLX and ESPN’s NFL Playoffs ads.
She followed up with the RIAA-certified gold single, “River,” which also was placed in TV ads and had success.
Her video for the song “Dream” can be seen here:
Briggs has made the rounds of the late night shows and has collaborated with some of the hottest musicians around including Coldplay, Kaleo, alt-J and Banks and Steelz, with whom she performed at Coachella last year.
