ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Bri Holland (she/they), is a Pro Tools certified audio engineer residing in Los Angeles. She is a vocal producer, audio engineer, singer, songwriter, and music educator based in Los Angeles, CA. Originally from southwestern Pennsylvania, Bri developed her passion for music through school choir and community theater. She later studied at the University of Chicago, gaining recognition in a cappella communities as a director, arranger, and engineer.

Notable career highlights include vocal engineering for the 2023 Grammy-nominated Broadway revival cast recording of Sweeney Todd, vocal production for animated series like DreamWorks’ Trolls: TrollsTopia and Madagascar: A Little Wild, and engineering for films such as tick, tick... BOOM!, Dear Evan Hansen, and Vivo. Bri was nominated for a 2022 MPSE Golden Reel Award for her sound editing work on tick, tick... BOOM! Her diverse portfolio also includes projects with artists like Jennifer Nettles, Sadie, and the cast of AZUL. Bri’s vocals have appeared on projects such as The Weeknd's Dawn FM, American Pie: Girls’ Rules, Vivo, Wednesday, Minx, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, and more. Her songwriting has been featured on numerous episodes of Nickelodeon's Alvinnn!!! And the Chipmunks.

As an educator, Bri has worked as a Teaching Artist with the Young Musicians Foundation, as a Fellowship Mentor with the LA LGBT Center, and as the Music Artist in Residence with the Archer School for Girls. Rooted in abolitionist pedagogy, she is committed to amplifying the voices of girls, women, gender-expansive individuals, and creatives of all marginalized identities and backgrounds.

Women's Audio Mission courses focus on increasing the gender balance in audio production and technology sectors since less than 5% of the population employed in these sectors are women and gender-expansive individuals. There are limited spots available in our classes, and they often sell out, so we ask that if you are not woman-identified (cisgender or transgender), nonbinary, or gender-expansive, you reconsider enrolling in the class. We will not turn anyone away, but please be mindful that if you take up a seat in the class, that is one less woman, non-binary, or gender-expansive individual that we can serve. We thank you for your understanding in advance and for joining us in our mission to advance women and girls in music production and the recording arts.
