BRIANA'S BIO
Brisbane based Briana Dinsdale continues to bring a refreshing style of country-americana music to crowds around Australia. Shas garnered significant support from influential organisations such as the Country Music Association Australia, where she was named the winner of the Keith Urban Scholarship in 2022 and completed her studies at the CMAA Academy of Country Music in 2023. Notably, in the same year, Briana was invited to join the Gibson family as an official Epiphone ambassador, an remains as one of the youngest ambassadors in the country. Briana's achievements were further recognized in 2022, when she became a Top 10 KIXSTART Grand Finalist in the KIX Country and Groundwater Competition and placed runner up in the EKKA Country Music Showdown.
Over the years, she has graced the stage at various prestigious events and venues, including the Gympie Music Muster, Tamworth Country Music Festival, The Triffid, and the Melting Sunsets Festival, alongside renowned artists such as Pete Murray and The Whitlam's. Recently, in January 2023, Briana and her 5-piece band were honoured to open for The Wolfe Brothers at two shows in Brisbane.
Despite still being in her teen years, Briana possesses exceptional songwriting abilities and an impressive level of musical knowledge, demonstrated by her collaborations and co-writes with notable artists such as Casey Barnes and Bill Chambers (both ARIA award winners), and Melody Moko and Lyn Bowtell (both Golden Guitar winners).
Her most recent release, 'Chasing Boys', achieved significant success on multiple country music charts both in Australia and internationally. The track reached impressive positions such as #12 on the Country Radio Charts (Aus), #7 on the Country Thunder Chart (Aus), #6 on the WHCR Top 50 (USA - South Carolina), and #26 on the Country Digital Indie Music Single’s Chart (USA), where it shared chart space with notable international artists such as Hardy, Lainey Wilson, Kelsea Ballerini, and Hailey Whitters.
One of Dinsdale’s recent singles ‘Irresistible Force’ (co-written with Melody Moko) was quoted as “the perfect representation of her mature level of musicianship for her youthful age” by Divine Magazine. The song's popularity was immediate, with it becoming the second most downloaded and third most streamed track on country radio on its release day. It was also added to rotation on various country radio platforms across the country, including 88.3 Southern FM, 90.7 CROW FM, and 104.7 Gippsland FM
