Braziel, a

classical music major at Carnegie Mellon University and a preacher’s daughter from Penn Hills, decided to

present a “Quarantine Concert” in her neighborhood driveway, much to the delight of her family, neighbors and friends.

Braziel was recently featured in Pittsburgh as a lead vocalist on the Heinz Hall stage with the “Lift Every

Voice Unity Choir” under the direction of Rev. Nicol Porter.

Braziel’s most cherished accomplishment to date was the opportunity to share the Metropolitan Opera stage in New York City with a host of vocalists for several months this past winter; her debut date was Sept. 23, 2019, a day she’ll never forget.

In an interview with musicestate.com in 2019, Braziel said that singing onstage is her favorite part about

being a vocalist.

Braziel, 27, graduated from Saint Vincent’s with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Vocal Performance with a

concentration in Opera.
