Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Brigitte Purdy

Brigitte Rios Purdy is a Los Angeles-born singer and songwriter whose voice carries the warmth of classic soul, the emotional depth of the blues, and the smooth elegance of R&B. From an early age, Purdy understood that singing was more than simply having a gifted voice. For her, music became a way to translate inner feeling into sound, turning personal emotion into songs that connect with listeners on a deeply human level.

Raised in Los Angeles, Brigitte was drawn to the power and honesty of soul, blues, and rhythm and blues. Her pure, silky vocal tone quickly set her apart, earning her opportunities to perform alongside respected artists including Walter Trout, Sugaray Rayford, Tim Bogert, Dionne Warwick, and Dolly Parton. She has also contributed background vocals for major artists such as The Who and Paul Rodgers, experiences that placed her in the company of some of rock, soul, and blues music’s most recognizable names.

As her confidence and experience grew, Purdy began to take the next natural step in her artistic journey: writing her own songs. Her deep love and admiration for B.B. King inspired one of her earliest original compositions, “Lucille, Don’t You Weep.” Written as a tribute to King’s legendary guitar, Lucille, the song became a blues ballad filled with reverence, emotion, and the kind of musical storytelling that honors the tradition while allowing Purdy’s own voice to shine.

“Lucille, Don’t You Weep” marked an important turning point. It gave Purdy the chance to combine her powerful vocal gift with a growing talent for lyric writing. The song also encouraged her to continue developing original material that could showcase not only her remarkable voice, but also her ability to write with sincerity, soul, and emotional purpose.

Since then, Brigitte Rios Purdy has continued writing and recording new music, earning positive attention from music press and radio audiences. Her single “Blues Angel” has received strong airplay on blues and blues-rock radio, further establishing her as an artist capable of delivering a ballad with grace, control, and emotional fire. With touches of blues and jazz, the song highlights Purdy’s ability to bring sophistication and feeling together in one performance.

While she is a gifted interpreter of blues and soul, Purdy’s original catalog also shows her range as a songwriter and performer. Songs such as “Rise Like the Water” and “Shot Heard Around the World” reveal a more blues-rock side of her sound, blending strong grooves, memorable hooks, and the commanding vocal presence that has become one of her signatures.

Brigitte Rios Purdy stands as an artist rooted in tradition but not confined by it. Her music carries the spirit of the great blues and soul singers who came before her, while her own songwriting gives those influences a modern and personal voice. Whether delivering a heartfelt ballad, a smoky blues performance, or a more driving blues-rock song, Purdy sings with emotional truth, technical grace, and a deep connection to the music she loves.

With a growing body of original work and a voice that can move from silky restraint to full emotional power, Brigitte Rios Purdy continues to build her place as a compelling presence in contemporary blues, soul, and R&B.
