Brandi Carlile is a singer, song-writer, and producer, whose voice and musicianship has won her critical acclaim as well as ten Grammys.

It could have been such a different story – aged four her heart stopped multiple times while she was in a coma after contracting meningitis. When she finally left hospital her family knew she was saved for a reason…

Perhaps that’s why she hasn’t only used her voice for singing, choosing to speak out on multiple issues, using her platform to great effect and raising millions for her Looking Out foundation, which is why Brandi and her wife are regularly named as Women who are Changing the World.

Brandi’s Selections:

MEMORY – Being refused baptism as a teenager

PERSON – Sir Elton John

MUSIC – The Mother by Brandi Carlile

POSSESSION – Her house in Washington state

MOVIE – The Never-Ending Story

PLACE – Neah Bay on the Makah Reservation, WA
