Brina Kay is redefining the sound and spirit of country music—infusing it with theatrical roots, pop sensibility, and a bold artistic vision that’s uniquely her own. With a voice built for the spotlight and a storytelling style that’s equal parts heartfelt and cinematic, Brina draws inspiration from icons like Natalie Maines, Kacey Musgraves, and Maren Morris—women who challenged the rules and made their own.
​
Raised in Schaumburg, Illinois, Brina got her start in music by learning to play the violin as a kindergartener. As she grew, she seized every opportunity to perform—whether it was acting, dancing, singing, or all of the above. That early passion evolved into a deep love for songwriting during her time at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, where she studied music and literature—and discovered the power of lyrics to heal, connect, and transform. She spent the summer after graduation performing with a local band, and when her lease was up, she decided to pursue her dreams to the fullest and make the bold move to Music City.
​
​Brina’s Nashville debut single, “Horizon,” caught early attention on She Wolf Radio, a platform that’s also championed stars like Lainey Wilson. Her follow-ups, “Heat of the Moment” and “Into the Sun,” charted at #8 and #1, respectively. From spins on iHeartRadio’s Big 95.5 in Chicago to features on the Academy of Country Music’s official playlist and multiple film placements, Brina’s sound continues to gain traction.
In 2023, she released her debut EP, Dandelion—a project that showcased both her range and her roots. The following year, she was nominated for Best Country Solo Artist (Female) at the National Industry of Music Awards. Her 2024 single, DIEHARD—a soaring anthem for Nebraska football fans—celebrates loyalty, grit, and the unshakable sense of self she carries with her.

Brina Kay isn’t just chasing dreams—she’s building worlds. And with every release, she invites you to step into one that feels as massive as it is intimate.
