History
Mz. Bratt was born in Bow, London. Later she moved to Hainault and started producing her music. Her talent struck urban producer Terror Danjah who took her under their wing after hearing her at local MC battles and seeing her Myspace. Mz. Bratt was selected to be part of the T4 entertainment show the Musicool, 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 US and European tour with The Count & Sinden, which included shows at Glastonbury Festival and Bestival.
Music
Mz. Bratt's debut single, "Who Do You Think You Are?", was released on All Around the World Productions on 27 July 2009, and received plays on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra. The second single, "I Like You", followed in November, and was also played by Radio 1Xtra.
In early 2010, Mz. Bratt was invited to join a new collective by Wiley called A-List. Mz. Bratt released her third single, "Selecta", in mid 2010, under A-List Music Ltd, produced by Redlight. She is expected to release her debut album at Miami Beach, Florida and American Airlines Arena in February 2012 alongside the likes of Usher and Nicole Sherzinger.
I describe my music and sound as “fun, cheeky, endorsing female empowerment”.
