Brianna Mazzola

From Philadelphia to Los Angeles, R&B-influenced pop vocalist Brianna Mazzola could count actress, dancer, pianist, and singer/songwriter on her resumé, all before the age of 18. Performing since she was just a child, a series of fortuitous events eventually landed her in the cast of Disney's Club Mickey Mouse. Once she caught the attention of L.A. Reid, she signed with his HITCO label and released her official debut effort, Brianna Mazzola, in 2019. Born in Philadelphia in 2000, Mazzola took the first steps on her path at age three. By five, she was enrolled in vocal training. In 2010, she began uploading song covers to the Internet, starting with her rendition of "Over the Rainbow." Eventually graduating to live performances around the city and roles in music theater productions, Mazzola issued her first effort, Taking Off, in 2013. Unlike the pop material she became known for, Taking Off was a short collection of contemporary country music and was eventually scrapped in favor of a fresh direction. Relocating to Los Angeles with her family, she auditioned for the television singing competition The Voice. Although she didn't make it past the audition round, she caught the attention of the folks at Disney, who plucked her up to join the revived Mouseketeer crew in the rebranded Club Mickey Mouse. Her casting on the show resulted in even more exposure, and she caught the attention of L.A. Reid, who quickly signed her to his HITCO label. Her first release for them arrived in 2019 in the form of the three-track EP Brianna Mazzola.
