Bishop Briggs (real name Sarah Grace McLaughlin), born on 18th July 1992, is a British singer and songwriter. She gained much of her spotlight following her single River (2016) which landed on number three in the US Alternative Chart.

Born to Scottish parents who hail from a town called Bishopbriggs (the inspiration for her stage name), she moved to Tokyo when she was merely four years old. After performing her first song at a Karaoke bar, Briggs knew what she wanted to become in her life. She then decided to pursue a career in music.

During her stay in Los Angeles, the singer was spotted by a talent scout in 2015 during one of her local performances. She subsequently released her debut single titled Wild Horses (2015) with her new stage name Bishop Briggs in honor of her parents’ hometown. Initially, however, her name was just Bishop, but she added Briggs to avoid confusion with a heavy metal band carrying the same name.

Following her first release, several fans discovered the artist with the aid of Shazam, after Acura used her song during one of their commercials. Clearly, it managed to captivate the audience who became curious to know who the performer was.

Likewise, she sang the INXS song Never Tear Us Apart along with the other contestant Cade Foehner. The crowd hugely appreciated both of her performances.

The singer showered praises for both her apprentices whose talent was admirable. On a final note, she delivered a piece of excellent advice. “If you’re being true to yourself, you really can’t lose. With something like this where you’re on a TV show, I think it’s really important to speak your truth and stand up for what you believe in and not hide.”

During an interview with W Magazine back in 2017, Briggs came across as someone who is consciously aware of her own feelings. As the conversation went on, she then showed her sensitive and melodramatic side when talking about her past relationship with a boyfriend.

As far as Bishop’s dating endeavors go, she apparently did not carry much luck.

He kind of broke my heart.

Although she refused to reveal who the guy was, Briggs claimed she phrased it differently in a face to face encounter with him. She recalled, “I said, ‘I realized you broke my fragile heart,' which is, of course, so dramatic.”
