B-Free

Flutist. Vocalist. Pianist. Songwriter. Producer. Music Curator. With influences ranging from Aaliyah to Jill Scott, she’s become the summation of a musical technician and the next R&B Chanteuse.

Born in Chicago, IL, and raised in Milwaukee, WI, she began singing and playing piano in her early years and has been writing and composing music since the age of 7. Majoring in music at the Milwaukee High School of The Arts, Lincoln University of PA & VanderCook College of Music, she has been trained in a multitude of genres including jazz and classical flute, voice, and piano.

In 2013, following the release of her debut project a year prior, a bout of pneumonia and throat infection left her unable to speak and sing for three months. Vocal cord surgery followed, & she couldn’t sing a single note for a year.

Her return project following rehabilitation was (sophomore album) “Ode 2 A Luv Affair LP'' in 2016. The O2LA was met with much acclaim; including being hailed by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel as the “Number One Album of 2016” and by The Shepherd Express as an "immaculately constructed R&B record."
In the span of her career, B~Free has also shared stages with artists such as Slum Village, Dwele, BJ The Chicago Kid, Fantastic Negrito, and served as direct opening support for Janelle Monae. She continues to release new music, with her latest being the spring 2021 self-produced House single, “Hate 2 Luv” feat. Durand Bernarr, & the bright, summer 2021 bop, "This Could Be Us."
