Since appearing on The Voice, Bria has revealed via social media that she is gay. She was engaged to her fiancé, Brianna Renee Cain, but their relationship has since ended.
The Voice[]
Bria (17 at the time) auditioned for The Voice with a performance of "Steamroller Blues" by James Taylor, turning all four chairs. Her performance was praised by all judges, and eventually chose Usher as her coach. In the Battle Rounds, Bria sang against Tess Boyer, performing "Piece of My Heart" by Janis Joplin. Once again receiving positive feedback, Usher chose Bria to advance to the Battle Rounds 2. Bria was paired against Madilyn Paige for the next set of the battles, the two singing "I'll Stand by You" by The Pretenders. Shakira noted her clever use of dynamics, but Adam Levine said he "desired more" from the pair. Eventually, Usher chose Bria to advance to the Playoffs and represent Team Usher.
