Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. The melodic singer/songwriter Bridgett “Bridgez” Roache has had a passion for music from a very tender age. She began writing and singing in a group at church at the age of 11. Unfortunately the group split but Bridgez continued to write music and record her songs on her computer. At the age of 16 “Bridgez” joined a group called “3 wishes” which was put together by Norman Chambers aka “Doom” son of Jimmy Cliff. The group lasted for a while but wasn’t going in the direction that “Bridgez” hoped for so eventually she left the group. After some time “Bridgez” decided it was time to go solo.
She entered contests and auditions but none seemed to come through. She did her first professional recording with upcoming producers David “Hizzle” Hayle and Jordan McClure from Chimney Records. She recorded two songs under their label “Have Fun Tonight” And “Distracted”. Looking for variety of “riddims” Bridgez started working with other producers like The Legendary Producer “Jack Scorpio” who was impressed by Bridgez’ sound. He decided to work with the young artist; she recorded two songs under the Black Scorpio Label “If Love’s A Game” and “Shy” however the songs didn’t get much recognition.
This actually motivated the singer to work harder and write more songs. Around this time “Bridgez” was introduced to Chart Topping Billboard Producer “Jah Snowcone.” He was opened to listen to what the singer had to offer and was impressed and decided to work with her. She recorded quite a few songs under Jahsnowcone Entertaintment Inc. such as “Best Friend”, “Put It Pon Me”, “Tun It Up” and she even collaborated with the Producer on a track called “So Fine” which is on the “Reggae … more Dancehall Nature” Album and another collaboration with Tanto Metro and Devonte called “How You Like It”. She shot videos for “Best Friend” and Put It Pon Me” both got heavy rotation in the local and overseas network.
The songs started to give Bridgez recognition from people seeing her videos and performances, so she continued to work with Jahsnowcone and more producers such as Octavius “Vigor” Muir on a track called “Take My Breath Away” and Steven “Supa Hype” Davis on a track called “I Breathe You” and also Grammy Award Winning Producers “Sly and Robbie” with a song called “I’m In Like” which is in heavy rotation on numerous local and overseas stations such as MTV’s TEMPO where her medley video “Take My Breath Away/I’m In Like” spent 2 months on Tempo’s Countdown.
Her most recent song “Come On Home” featuring Lukie D from the group LUST is produced by one of the top producers in Jamaica, Kemar “Flava” Mcgregor under Nodoubt Records is already getting good reviews from her fans and radio waves, “I feel like I am growing as an artist from people looking at me and asking “Do I know you from somewhere?” to actually seeing me and calling me by my stage name and saying “I like your music, that alone is a big blessing for me”. Bridgez continues to write, record and perform her catchy and harmonious songs to win over the public’s hearts.
