There, Brigitte obtained a music degree at Goldsmiths College, where she currently gives Jazz and Improvisation workshops, and went on to study at the prestigious Guildhall School of music on the jazz postgraduate course.

Shortly after she recorded her debut album Prelude to a Kiss (FMR), a collection of jazz and latin standards and two originals, with the talents of Ingrid Laubrock-tenor sax, Barry Green-piano, Phil Donkin-double bass, George Hart-drums and guest vocalist Anita Wardell.

The album received rave reviews, extensive international and national radio play, "Her debut album is impressive, as one would expect from someone who's well and truly paid her dues"-Humphrey Lyttelton, and also attracted the attention of Kenny Wheeler, “I especially liked ‘Got No Blues’ and ‘Sunlight On Your Face’, and a real nice version of ‘Love for Sale’’, Rufus Reid “Perhaps the most impressive to me is Brigitte's clarity, conviction and the program......congratulations on an excellent recording.”, and Dame Cleo Laine and John Dankworth CBE "If sheer talent were the only ingredient needed for success in music, Brigitte would already be up there with the stars. She has a tremendous future to explore, one which we'll be watching with great expectations".

Throughout her professional career Brigitte has played at numerous venues in London including The Vortex Jazz Club, Pizza Express Dean Street, Pizza on the Park, The National Theatre & The Queen Elizabeth Hall. Venues across the UK include the Blue Lamp (Aberdeen),Dempsey's (Cardiff) and the Edge Arts Centre (Shropshire).

Brigitte has performed with many great musicians such as John Parricelli, Pete King, Julian Siegel, Frank Griffith, Chris Laurence, Liam Noble and Paul Clarvis. She also regularly sings with the Ivo Neame Trio (featuring on the album Swirls and Eddies [ Loop Records]), is a member of the Pete Billington Band, and features on John Turville Trio's forthcoming album Midas.

Notable appearances also include a tour of France with the Glenn Miller Memorial orchestra and Jazzmandu Festival in 2004, concerts at Proms in the Park, London and Manchester Jazz Festivals, finalist in the international www.jazzconnect.com competition in 2005. In 2006 she appeared at Aberdeen Jazz Festival and was one of 20 young musicians selected to take part in Betty Carter's Jazz Ahead program/concerts in Washington D.C, with Carmen Lundy, George Cables and Curtis Fuller.

In 2007, Brigitte participated in the Brussels International Jazz Singers competition reaching the semi-finals and embarked on a three-week extensive trio tour of the UK (18 dates) with Joe Auckland-trumpet/flugelhorn and Ivo Neame-piano.

Following this successful tour and having also performed at festivals such as the London Jazz Festival (2007), Isle of Wight and Manchester Jazz Festivals (2008), the trio and the Brigitte Beraha Group (trio + Phil Donkin-double bass & George Hart-drums) recorded an album of original material.

This was very much influenced by Brigitte's multilingual background found in her own expressive writing and heard in her genuine rendition of Jazz and Latin standards. Flying Dreams, a melodic contemporary jazz album with Anglo-European, World and Latin flavours, was released on 29th September 2008 on the F-ire label (Proper Distribution) and promoted with a 20-date tour of the UK in Autumn 2008, supported by Jazz Services and Arts Council England.
