Bishop Briggs Biography

Early life and background Sarah Grace McLaughlin, who performs as Bishop Briggs, was born on 18 July 1992 in London, England.

Early life and background
Sarah Grace McLaughlin, who performs as Bishop Briggs, was born on 18 July 1992 in London, England. Her family moved when she was a child; at four she relocated to Tokyo, where karaoke culture and the artists she grew up listening to helped shape her interest in performing. At age ten the family moved again, this time to Hong Kong, and she lived there through her teenage years. She received formal vocal training while in Hong Kong and graduated from Hong Kong International School before moving to Los Angeles to continue her musical education at the Musicians Institute, where she earned an associate’s degree in Vocal Performance.

Her stage name pays homage to her family’s Scottish roots: it is drawn from the name of the town Bishopbriggs, where her parents originate.

Career
Briggs began releasing music in the mid-2010s and steadily built a reputation for intense, vocal-driven songs and dramatic live performances. Her first single, “Wild Horses,” arrived in July 2015 and found a wider audience after being placed in an Acura Super Bowl commercial. The track later charted on Billboard’s Alternative Songs list and helped introduce her to U.S. audiences.

She followed “Wild Horses” with “River” in January 2016. That single became a breakout moment: it topped Hype Machine’s Popular chart, reached high positions on several Spotify and Billboard viral and rock charts, and brought substantial exposure. Briggs made her television debut performing “River” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in August 2016, a clip that reached a very large online audience.

Through late 2016 and 2017 she released a limited-run physical EP and then reissued a self-titled EP digitally with additional tracks. She opened tour dates for established acts, including Coldplay and Kaleo, and released her debut album, Church of Scars, in 2018. Several of her songs were licensed to film and television placements, bolstering her profile; for example, “Dark Side” later appeared in an Avengers film.

Briggs continued releasing new music and singles across subsequent years. In October 2022 she released “Superhuman,” a song she described as a love letter to her son. Her 2022 material also included “Lessons of the Fire,” which served as the lead song for the Netflix series Devil in Ohio. In 2023 she announced a fall co-headlining tour titled Don’t Look Down with MisterWives.

Public profile
Briggs has blended a career of recording and touring with a visible public presence. Her 2016 television performance and several high-profile placements helped establish her sound with mainstream listeners. She has received industry recognition as well: in 2019 she won the Best Pop Artist award at the Music Moves Europe Awards.

Her public narrative has also included disputes and personal hardships. In 2018 she ended a production relationship with two producers and faced subsequent legal actions; she later countersued and publicly described leaving that working situation because of abusive behavior she experienced in the studio. In January 2021 she suffered the loss of her sister and manager, Kate McLaughlin, to ovarian cancer—an event that influenced emotionally driven songs released afterward.

Briggs has been open about aspects of her identity and lifestyle: she is of Scottish ethnicity, identifies as English by nationality, and follows a vegetarian diet. She is also noted for numerous tattoos across her body, several of which she has described publicly.

Personal life and family
Briggs married singer Landon Jacobs in 2022. The couple welcomed their first child, a son, in August 2022. She performed at Coachella in May 2022 while in the third trimester of her pregnancy.

Latest updates
After releasing singles in 2022 and contributing music to television, Briggs expanded her live presence with a co-headlining tour announcement in 2023. She also took part in televised competition: she competed on Fox’s The Masked Singer season 9 as “Medusa” and won the season, becoming the show’s first British and international champion and its youngest winner to date.

Her career continues to combine recorded releases, sync placements in film and television, and a steady touring schedule, with personal experiences and public statements shaping how fans and the industry receive her work.
