She has performed at many different venues, such as the St. Kitts Music Festival in June of 2017, in which afterwards she received her “Time to Shine” with an article from the Hype Magazine. She shared the stage with musical legends like Shabba Ranks, The Goo Goo Dolls, Mavado, and Creedence Clearwater Revisited, as well as many others, representing a range of primarily Afro-Caribbean musical styles. During her time in St. Kitts, she also spoke to teens at different high schools to not only give them some words of encouragement, but to sing for them as well. She ended up on many different television channels, including Channel 5 ZIZ, and her songs were being played all across the Kittian radio the weeks leading up to her performance.

In 2018 Briannagh collaborated with Jamaican artist, E-Dee the Dancehall Celebrity, to create their now hit single, “Feel the Beat.” Climbing to #1 on the Caribbean Tempo charts in over 24 countries, being on the television network “Blacker Top 20 Countdown,” and having the music video uploaded to the WorldStarHipHop website were just a few moments of the song’s success. Public performances in Los Angeles included singing Etta James' "At Last" at the "Nu Skool Sings Old School Awards," which was attended by some of the legends of American television, such as Marla Gibbs. May 2014 brought Briannagh across the Atlantic to Durham, England to sing at the Harambee Pasadia Music Festival. Briannagh performed publicly as a pianist as early as age five and began vocal training at age eight. Following her vocal training, Briannagh performed in a vocal battle amongst the top three other contestants at the Apollo Theater, located in Harlem, New York (2013) as well as a finalist in Deborah’s Got Talent, a fundraiser for Deborah Heart Hospital in New Jersey (2013). Briannagh's most recent single "That Feeling" featuring legendary battle rapper Cassidy is available now on iTunes and Spotify. The music video was shot in Atlanta, Georgia and within the first week of the music video's release, it was uploaded to 50 Cent's website "This is 50" and Briannagh D made her second appearance on the WorldStarHipHop website. It is currently on Briannagh D's YouTube channel as well. She attended the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards on August 26th. Briannagh walked the red carpet, was interviewed about her music, and gave interviews to the other artists on the red carpet.
