Growing up in Southern California, Brittany was raised with a Catholic school girl education, and concrete roots in Orange County. However, even at a young age, Brittany questioned stereotypes and conventional thinking. "I always questioned societal views of women. I was 11 years old listening to No Doubt's "Just A Girl" and remember thinking, ‘She’s not just singing, she’s changing the way people think. That’s what I’m gonna do.”
After graduating USC with a degree in Psychology, where she was a member of the famed SoCal VoCals a cappella group, Brittany packed her bags and moved to Nashville. Not knowing a soul and determined to follow her dreams, Brittany says, “I started writing like crazy." She garnered a great deal of attention, ultimately resulting in industry big shots claiming that Brittany’s songs were too opinionated and too edgy for a female in country music.
“Why play by the rules, when you can change the game?” Brittany says. “I’ve never allowed rejection to change who I am, it just made me stronger.” Moving back to Southern California, Brittany channeled all of her energy into her newest single, Notice Me, which sparked interest from the music industry and inspired young girls who face the challenge of being a female in today’s world. “If the music doesn’t speak, if what I write doesn’t speak to me, it won’t speak to anyone. I feel my work is to create music that has character and spirit - music that contributes and relates to people’s everyday lives.”
Brittany McDonald’s youthful spirit and commanding presence has made significant impressions on dynamic women like Arianna Huffington, who recently saw the music video for Notice Me and asked Brittany to write her own personal blog on the Huffington Post. Poised as the new artist to notice in 2013, there is absolutely no doubt that Brittany McDonald is making her dreams come true, and sharing them with the rest of the world.
After developing a substantial catalog of songs, Brittany has applied herself to recording the works and offering the opportunity to sign and license her music for placement and usage in all forms of media, globally. For inquiries, please contact: info@electrolizard.com
