Hailing from East London and at the tender age of 17, Mz Bratt is already an inspirational figure to many in the world of UK Urban/Dance music and TV. Billed by many experts as 2009's one to watch, Mz Bratt has emerged from the current UK Urban scene as the lone female role model within a male dominated arena. Her exceptional talent struck renowned award-winning urban producer Terror Danjah (Kano, Sway, Chipmunk, Shola Ama) who took her under his wing after hearing her at local MC battles and seeing her huge Myspace following.
This was soon followed the news that Mz Bratt had been selected to be part of the T4 entertainment show 'Music-Cool', where she starred as the LEAD female- at one point reducing guest judge Jamelia to tears with her exceptional talent and vocal ability. Following this Mz Bratt then embarked on a huge US and European tour with Shoredich cool guys 'The Count and Sinden' which included shows at Glastonbury and Bestival.
She has also featured on remixes and records with artists including Wiley, Tinchy Stryder, Taio Cruz, Sadie Ama and Grammy nominated US Star Jazmine Sullivan.Mz Bratt's musical taste is diverse and she lists her influences ranging from Lauryn Hill, Beyonce, Coldplay, Method Man, Nas, Lady GaGa, Bob Marley and Michael Jackson.Another key influence was her father who was MC SCALLYWAG from the late 80's Acid-House outfit 'Spiral Tribe'. This early exposure to music of a liberating nature has certainly contributed to the development of Mz Bratt's own unique signature electro-fused hip-hop sound.
Her debut release 'Who Do You Think You Are?' was released through the highly successful Universal Music label 'All Around the World', who have recently seen massive success with label mates N-Dubz who sold over 500,000 Albums. The single has already been heavily rotated on BBC's 1xtra and Radio 1 having been championed by DJ's Tim Westwood and Pete Tong.
She has just released her mixtape on free download and is also performing on the Braap pack tour with Ironik, Chipmunk and many more…
