Bio
Hailing from Hyde Park, MA - Brittany Butler is a r&b/jazz/pop singer-songwriter/musician. Singing since she was one year old, Brittany has always had an outstanding passion for music. She is also a self-taught guitarist & pianist. Before the age of 12, Brittany had been written up numerous times in local newspapers, performed at various local venues, and won several singing competitions. Most notably, the American Idol Simon Malls tour, judged by past contestants Michaela Gordon, LaToya London, & George Huff in 2005. She also went on to win numerous national online singing competitions, and was selected as a top 4 finalist in Taylor Swift's FEARLESS contest by Taylor, herself.
At the age of 9, Brittany met Tuffus Zimbabwe. A Berklee College of Music alum, & current pianist for Saturday Night Live. After singing for Tuffus, he recognized Brittany's talent & suggested that she audition for Berklee City Music. Once she was old enough, she auditioned and was accepted to study on scholarship as a member of the program at age 11. The program has since given her tremendous opportunity & knowledge. In May of 2011, Brittany toured four cities with the Berklee City Music Rock Ensemble, American Idol winner 2009 Kris Allen, and the Music Empowers Foundation.
Brittany began posting cover videos to her YouTube channel in December of 2007. Since then, her covers have received rave reviews and acknowledgements from celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Green Day, Ashton Kutcher, Ricky Martin, Joe Trohman (Fall Out Boy), Brendon Urie & Ryan Ross (Panic! At The Disco), Relient K, and the Jonas Brothers, among others. She has since accumulated 54,000+ subscribers & 5 million+ total views. Her Green Day medley was also featured on GreenDay.com!
Over the course of 2010-2011 Brittany was fortunate enough to meet artists such as Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day), Karmin, the Jonas Brothers, & the Backstreet Boys. Brittany graduated from the Boston Arts Academy in June of 2011, where she majored in Voice. In August of 2011, Brittany was awarded a full-tuition scholarship to Berklee, in addition to the prestigious Walter Beasley Award for Leadership.
Most recently and notably, Brittany was a contestant on Season 7 of NBC's hit show The Voice. Her blind audition performance got Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams to turn their chairs. Brittany ultimately chose legendary producer Pharrell as her coach. She went on to compete in the battle rounds where she got to work with Alicia Keys, who joined the show as a guest adviser for Team Pharrell. She is currently self-producing her debut EP, which will feature 6 of her strongest original songs.
