BRE Talks About Her Major Career Goals, Stevie Nicks, And New Single ‘The Revolution’

Join ‘The Revolution!

With years of successful music career experience under her belt, it’s about time you get to know and love BRE. Today, the LA-based artist released a powerful new single ‘The Revolution’ that is perfect for any motivating playlist.

We had the amazing honor of talking with BRE about her dream music collaboration, things she would tell her younger self, and more!

What inspired you to write your new song, “The Revolution?”

B: “The overturning of Roe V. Wade, plain and simple! Watching such a landmark decision come
down from the highest court in our country, witnessing the immediate effect it is having on so
many women’s lives, and feeling such intense anger over the lack of control that I feel – writing a
song about it was the only way I felt I could properly express it all. But “The Revolution” is not a
song of defeat, it is a protest anthem. I wrote it to hopefully inspire women and everyone who
cares about the rights of women to continue to fight back against these policies through any and
all means necessary.”

Who would you say is your biggest inspiration?

B: “Musically, my biggest inspiration has been and probably always will be Stevie Nicks. Everything
about her inspires me artistically – she’s someone I hope to be like someday! But outside of
music, I’m inspired by political activists like Malala Yousafzai and business moguls like Rihanna.
My goal is to be an artist who produces great music, using my influence to be a voice
advocating for women’s rights, while exemplifying that empowerment through the business
endeavors I build in conjunction with my art. Obviously, I lack ambition.”

How did you realize you wanted to be a music artist?

B: “It’s in my blood unfortunately (lol). I’ve written songs since I was 12 and started pursuing music
professionally at age 15. I got burned out at 21 and tried desperately to walk away from music.
But it is seriously apart of the fabric of my being – I can’t escape it. So, I decided to lean in and
pursue this artistry thing with everything I have and see what happens!”

What would you say your song “The Revolution” is about?

B: “At its core, “The Revolution” is about taking your power back. It’s about coming together as a
united front to stand up against policy makers who justify their decisions with personally held
belief systems. It’s for every person who is angry about what’s going on in our world and doesn’t
know what to do with it, and an encouragement to use that anger to push us towards making
change.”

If you could collaborate with anyone, who would you collaborate with and why?

B: “Rick Rubin. Bar none. He is one of the greatest producers to have ever lived and I would give
my left arm to work with him as a producer for my album. I may or may not be manifesting our
collaboration on a regular basis….”

What inspired you when going into the music industry?

B: “I was kind of thrust into it. My parents moved my family to California after I won an acting
competition at 13 for me to act. I then grew to be almost 6 feet tall and towered over all the little boy actors (which casting directors did not like), so I decided to pivot into my true passion which
was music. Since then, it’s been this battle between my love for music and performing, and the
intense learning curve that comes with entering the music industry at a young age. I feel like I
found my footing now though and feel confident about the direction my career is heading.”

If you could speak to a younger you, what would you say?

B: “Oh man, so many things. The main thing would be to not associate my value as a person with
my success in the music industry. As a young person pursuing big dreams, especially when you
have pressure from your family who’ve sacrificed a lot for you to be able to pursue those things,
it’s incredibly difficult to separate your worth from your success or lack thereof. I felt like a failure
for a long time because I did not immediately ‘fulfill the potential’ that many people said I had.
But I had to learn that no matter what you do or do not achieve in your life, it does not affect
your worth as a human being. Learning that lesson earlier would have saved me a lot of
heartache, but I’m glad I know it now!”

What are you hoping to accomplish with your music career?

B: “I plan on being very successful as an artist. How is this going to happen? I have legit no idea.
But my goals range from playing sold out stadium tours, to writing the soundtrack for a hit TV
show (Think Labrinth with Euphoria), to creating a business empire (think Rihanna), and more. I
find it fun to dream really big and then challenge myself to see what I can do every day to move
myself closer to those goals. I won’t stop until I’ve achieved all of them.”
