Today we’d like to introduce you to Brit.
Hi Brit, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Honestly, I’ve been annoying people with my singing since elementary school. I used to wander around the playground making up songs like I was the main character in a musical no one asked for. Around 11, I taught myself guitar because I decided I needed to write sad songs properly—and honestly, not much has changed since.
I was a choir kid from middle school through high school, but songwriting has always been where I feel the most like myself. It’s my version of an escape—like getting lost in a good book, music’s always been my way of processing life. I used to sob excessively listening to Taylor Swift on the school bus, which felt dramatic at the time but looking back… it tracks.
Last year, I finally decided to stop overthinking and taught myself how to use Garage Band. I didn’t know what I was doing half the time, but I slowly figured it out and ended up producing and releasing my first single, *fallen angel*, this past January. Seeing people actually listening to something I made still feels absolutely unreal. I’m just grateful I had the chance to put it out there.
At the end of the day, I hope my songs can help someone feel a little less alone, the way music’s always helped me. I’m still figuring it all out as I go—but that’s part of the fun.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been the easiest road. I was kind of a sad, awkward kid (still funny though)—I’ve always felt a little different, and I didn’t really have close friends until late in high school. I went through a lot, both at home and at school, so books and music became my lifelines. They were my escape when life felt overwhelming, and honestly, that hasn’t changed much even now.
One of my first real ‘music moments’ was playing at Third Thursday in Irmo, South Carolina. It felt huge to me at the time—just being able to share my music somewhere outside my bedroom. It was one of those moments that made me feel like maybe I could do this.
And honestly, *fallen angel* came from a really difficult chapter for me. I wrote and produced it during a time when I was just trying to process everything I’d been through—including a breakup that left me feeling torn apart. Writing that song was my escape from that, but also a way to take all that pain and turn it into something I could be proud of.
So no, it hasn’t been a smooth road. But every hard moment has shaped the music I make now—and I’m grateful for that.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m a college student right now, majoring in English Literature at the University of South Carolina—so when I’m not working on music, you can usually find me buried in a fantasy novel somewhere. I’m a huge book nerd at heart. I’ll pretty much read anything, but Romantasy and fiction are my favorites. I actually run a little bookstagram where I share all my chaotic book thoughts, so that’s become a fun side project too.
As for music, I’d say what sets me apart is how personal my songwriting is. Everything I write comes from real experiences and emotions, even if they’re messy or complicated. My goal is always to make music that feels like a conversation with a friend—something that can help someone else feel heard and understood, even if we’ve never met.
What I’m most proud of is definitely my first single, *fallen angel*. I released and produced it entirely myself, which was overwhelming at times. It was a project that pushed me way out of my comfort zone, and it taught me that I’m capable of much more than I thought.
At the end of the day, whether it’s through a song or a book review on Instagram, I just love sharing stories—whether they’re mine or someone else’s.
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
Most people who follow my music probably don’t know that I’m also chronically obsessed with fantasy books. Like, the ‘I’ll cancel plans to finish a series’ kind of obsessed. Half my time is spent writing songs, the other half is spent emotionally recovering from fictional betrayals. Yah, they definitely don’t know.
Recently, I’ve also taken up running which has been really great for my mental and physical health. I like to start my mornings off on a good note by eating some fruit and warming up and running at least 3 miles while listening to music. Now when I have a rest day, I’m itching like I’m going through with withdrawals. That’s really the only negative.
