About the artist
BRENNA
After making waves in the alt-pop and dark pop scene with a string of infectious singles, captivating solo performances, and song placements on Netflix, Hulu, and more, BRENNA has undergone a ferocious sonic metamorphosis.
Abandoning the constraints of traditional pop structures, BRENNA's upcoming record marries the haunting, atmospheric storytelling of her dark pop roots with the crushing weight of alternative metal and hard rock. Driven by thunderous percussion, distorted low-end riffs, and soaring, cathartic vocals, this new era explores themes of inner turmoil, survival, and rebirth. For fans of Bad Omens, Poppy, Deftones, and Evanescence, BRENNA offers a visceral, unapologetic live and recorded experience.
On stage, BRENNA now leads a full high-octane rock band built for clubs and festivals, after years of performing solo on vocal and keys.
