Brianna Ruelas -- American Idol Contestant & Reality TV Coach

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Brianna grew up living and breathing music and theatre from the age of 9. She went on to attend Pepperdine University, graduated with a BA in Theatre Arts, and shortly after, signed a deal with a top Talent Agency in Los Angeles to be a voiceover actor.

After a few years of voice-over work, Brianna realized her true calling was music, and at the time, reality television was taking off. She auditioned three times before getting an opportunity to be a part of Season 4 of American Idol. Out 100,000 hopefuls that lined up cattle call style that season, Brianna was 1 of 100.

Unfortunately, things didn't go so well in the audition stage in Hollywood, so when it was time to go, naturally, Brianna was devastated by the rejection. 

Shortly after her American Idol experience, Brianna and her husband Victor started a family and music became a second thought for Brianna as she tried to acclimate to motherhood. After ten years of Los Angeles living, Brianna and Victor took a leap and moved to Brianna’s hometown of Richardson, Texas.
