Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittney Carter.
Brittney, please kick things off for us by telling us about yourself and your journey so far.
I’ve been doing music for about 3 years now. It’s always so funny to speak on because this isn’t something I really envisioned myself doing. Growing up, reading was a favorite past time of mine and I go into sports around age 11.
My household has been a heavy influencer as far as my taste in music goes. My mother is mostly into gospel, soul and r&b. My father, Hip Hop and gangsta rap. My siblings and I listen to just about anything. No matter the genre. For me, it’s all about the message.
In 2015 I took apart of the Set It Off Cypher along with (LinZ, Syd Shaw, J Bambie, Freddie Old Soul, Bella Bahhs, and DeLisa). To be completely honest, I was reluctant. My confidence in my gift was extremely low. Regardless, the cypher was uploaded online and did well. From that point on, different opportunities presented themselves and that is how my journey began.
The cool part about my journey thus far, is I still don’t have a project out but people still invite me out to perform and for that, I am extremely grateful. (This October, I will be dropping my very first project) 🙂
Can you give our readers some background on your art?
I’m a Hip Hop artist from the Southside. I create because most days, that is the only thing that makes sense. I do it for me first, but I’d be foolish to not recognize the vital role it plays in others’ lives.
When I create, I’m telling a story, and sharing a message. I hope the people who listen to my music take away a sense of self-worth and confidence. I pray that my music builds and bring folk together instead of tearing down. But most importantly, I hope it inspires someone else to follow their purpose and their God given abilities.
My artwork is genuine and carefully written. And I’m hella sensitive about it lol.
How do you think about success, as an artist, and what do quality do you feel is most helpful?
As long as my music touches others, provokes thought that is success to me. I believe it’s important to remain honest and transparent. A lot of people put artist on a higher pedestals and I think it’s important for artist to be able to be relatable.
