If you believe in God, you know the wonders he’ll do when you let him use you. That is exactly the story of Briana Babineaux, whose powerful voice radiates and gives listeners goosebumps as she belts out Deitrick Haddon’s “He’s Able” in the video highlighted above. The video was uploaded in May and has recently been making rounds on social media.

Babineaux, a 21-year-old college student and Louisiana native, has been singing in church choirs since she was young, but she never pursued a career in music. It wasn’t until a friend uploaded a video on YouTube last year, as she sang “Make Me Over,” that the idea of a music career became a reality. To date, the video has over 1 million views and upon it’s release, Babineaux was met with a number of recording contract offers to take her voice to the next level.

After signing with Marquis Boone Enterprises, LLC, Babineaux released her debut album Keys to My Heart earlier this year, and was met with instant acclaim. Briana’s devotion to her faith is the key to her success and the reason behind her debut album’s name. On her website she writes: “I allowed God to have total access to my heart and once I did that I was able to release all the hurts I’ve experienced. I named the album ‘Keys To My Heart’ because each song is a testimony from an experience that I faced whether it was good or bad.”
