Bridget was born with music in her blood. From an early age she loved to sing and as she grew up her singing became more and more important.

As a child, taking piano lessons meant she was able to accompany herself, and she also learned to play guitar (she bought her first acoustic guitar when she was aged 15 after she won £50 on her Premium Bonds).

When she was growing up, her parents always had the radio on and she would listen for hours. As a teenager, she discovered that parents of school friends often had interesting record collections and she was drawn to the soul, groove and funk genres.

"I’ve always felt that singing was more special to me than playing an instrument because using my singing voice meant I had something special to convey – the LYRICS!"

After she settled in London she began looking for musicians that she could work with. She met a pianist and they began to perform regularly at venues in and around London and eventually they formed a band.

She had now begun to write her own songs and was adding them in to her live set.

"I wrote what I wanted to write. I didn’t think that the songs were any particular genre, I wasn’t particularly bothered about genres I just wrote what was happening at the time".

Fate sometimes happens out of the blue. Late last year a message arrived for Bridget via her MySpace site. A soul radio DJ was asking about a track on her page and could he please have a copy to play on his show. The track was On The Beach and he loved it so much that he circulated it to his colleagues.

DJs from all over the world began picking up on the track too and before Bridget knew what was happening, On The Beach had entered the Sweet Rhythms Chart.

There was a buzz. Bridget was being made welcome by the soul scene, and she welcomed them in return. And, most importantly, listeners were responding enthusiastically too.

There are probably only a few singers you’ll hear in your lifetime whose voices make you tingle. There are probably only a few entertainers you’ll know who you’ll always admire and respect. Bridget is one British singer, songwriter and entertainer who is so comfortable on stage that she holds the audience in the palm of her hand. Bridget is a Star.
