Vocal Sensation and Rising Star BRIELLE VON HUGEL Set to Release First EP This Year

NEW YORK, NEW YORK—Breakout singer/songwriter Brielle Von Hugel, who has amassed nearly three million hits in less than three weeks with her “Dangerous Woman” cover on Facebook, has signed a recording contract with F.R.E.E.D.O.M. Records. Having been spotlighted at the age of 16 as a Top 12 girls’ semi-finalist on season 11 of American Idol, Von Hugel’s soulful, emotive style gives her a distinct connection with her audience and has caused her popularity to soar. 

With over 2 million views amassed on her YouTube channel, Von Hugel continues to ride high on the success and popularity that she’s increasingly gained from her viral cover songs. The budding starlet is elated to have just signed a recording contract with F.R.E.E.D.O.M. Records, in collaboration with TE Music Group, in order to bring her talent to the forefront of the music scene. Von Hugel is set to drop her sophomore EP later this year headlining with her first single, “Stronger (Growing Pains)”.

"I’m ecstatic to start my journey with F.R.E.E.D.O.M. Records,” says Von Hugel. “It's an incredible feeling to know that you have a team of amazing people who believe in you and are by your side. We're ready for this!"

The newly-launched F.R.E.E.D.O.M. Records plans to sign unique talent and spearhead out-of-the-box campaigns. As a label that knows good music, the executives are using a critical ear to handpick artists who are extraordinarily gifted.

“I very rarely encounter a music artist that possesses the ‘total package,’” says F.R.E.E.D.O.M. Records executive and industry veteran Tim “Dawg” Patterson. “Normally they come lacking in certain areas. Five minutes into listening to Brielle, I knew F.R.E.E.D.O.M. struck gold! Brielle Von Hugel is the ‘Total Package!’"

Brielle’s vocal style can be described as modern-day vintage. Most recently she’s added her smoky vocals to Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox as a brilliant feature, which has further gained her recognition from fans across the globe. Her press spotlights include outlets such as Good Day New York, Billboard.com, RyanSeacrest.com and Mashable.com among others, positioning her as being the next artist to take the music scene by storm.
