Encore: Brittney Spencer
Your music is known for its emotional resonance. How do you tap into those feelings when writing a song?
I just try to push myself to be a honest as possible about the things I think, feel, and observe in the world around me.
Moving from Baltimore to Nashville was a significant step in your career. What was the biggest challenge you faced during that transition?
Moving to a new city is pretty scary. I didn’t know anyone here, and it took a really long time for me to really find my people. I feel just as much different as I do the same person I was before I left my hometown. Sometimes coming to terms with that feels to be a lifetime endeavor.
You mentioned being inspired by artists like Destiny’s Child and The Chicks. How have these influences shaped your sound?
They’ve shaped my sound so much. Mostly, those two groups showed me how important it is to have a sound in the first place. Something distinct, something true to you & your roots. They weren’t afraid to creatively explore and do something different than the rest. I’m really inspired by that.
Your songwriting is praised for its storytelling quality. What’s your process for crafting such vivid narratives in your music?
I really don’t have a process. Sometimes I hear a melody before I think of words; sometimes it’s the other way around. I’m always following the vibes and staying open. I try my best to really see the stories happening around us everyday, and to pay attention to how those moments make me feel.
You’ve performed on stages like the CMT Awards and Good Morning America. Do you have a favourite performance moment?
One of my favorite TV moments is my performance with Parker McCollum at the CMT Awards. Being up there felt so effortless. Parker is really fun to work with, and we really caught a vibe that I think translated well to the crowd.
