She is a gifted and experienced vocal coach who specializes in crafting personalized lesson plans based on her student’s musical taste, style and aspirations. In addition to her solo career, Briget also sings and plays guitar with the True Life Trio and Kitka Women’s Vocal Ensemble.

Growing up in Los Angeles, Briget got her start in music by singing backup vocals for her mother, recording artist Karen Tobin, and worked with her father in Hollywood’s film scoring studios.

She began writing songs as a teenager and was drawn early on to folk music. In 2004, she joined Kitka Eastern European Women’s Vocal Ensemble, one of the most respected American groups performing Balkan folk music today. Briget was the lead singer and percussionist for the Balkan ensemble Brass Menažeri, which collaborated with hip-hop artist Mr. Lif on the album Resilient.

When she is not performing and teaching, Briget serves as the CEO and Creative Director of Waxsimile, a record label she founded with her late father, Tim Boyle, to focus on profitable and equitable methods of creating musical products.

As a teacher Briget meets students at their level, empowering them to sing and play the music that inspires them the most. She works with aspiring musicians of all ages and her lessons are both inspiring and fun!
