Brittney Wortham on purevolume™

Indie / Alternative / Powerpop

Hello lovely people. My name is Brittney Wortham in case you already didn't know. I hope you enjoy my music and find it fun. I would love if you would leave a comment, good or bad. They are all welcome (even though i'll admit, I probably won't approve the negative ones), but any criticism is welcome and it will only help me to create better tunes. I know I can't win them all, but I hope to win most! If you live in a far away place but think my music would go over well in your area, let me know, and maybe I can make a trip. Random facts about me: I have a fascination with Benjamin Gibbard, I aspire to be a female Sufjan Stevens, I hate the show "Cheers", I have an alter-ego named Autumn Huckabee who has pink hair and is a photographer, I have a cat named Fernando after an ABBA song, I am studying to be a Special-Ed teacher with a minor in Creative Writing. When my plate is not so full, I plan to start writing my novel, I am convinced John Goodman is an alien. I also help friends write funny and provacotive love letters. If you have any other questions, just ask. I'll somehow reply even though music profiles can't leave comments (or I am an idiot).
.Peace and Love.

Just incase you want to read it, here is my formal, yet less personal biography;
Starting at the early age of two years old, singing and performing for her Grandmother and all of her friends, it was clear that Brittney Wortham was always meant for the stage. As she grew older, her taste in music evolved significantly. Brittney's parents tried to get her into country music, but it just wasnt a good fit for her. As time went by, Brittney started finding bands and singers like Missy Higgins, Eisley, Spoon, Rilo Kiley and Death Cab for Cutie, who now influence her music style the most.

At an early age, Brittney had a natural ear for music. Picking up a stray instrument and learning a song by listening to the tune was no trouble. After learning how to play various instruments by ear, she then learned how to read shaped notes. Brittney first learned to play the piano, she then felt the need to expand her musical abilities by taking up the drums. After about a year of practicing, she felt the need to learn yet another instrument, the guitar, the bass being next. As for her singing career, she has been in many choirs, groups and bands over time, scoring superior ratings in solo events, as well as being a member in groups who had scored superior ratings. From Kindergarten to now, Brittney has been performing in school functions and out of school functions for different occasions. Brittney has taken voice lessons from many different teachers. Starting with a lady who would come help at her house, to formal lessons at Baylor and Lamar University. Although she was classicaly trained, her voice does so well in the area that she has chosen, alternative. On stage, it is not a rare site to see Brittney emotionally drain herself while performing. To her, a show wouldn't be a good show without feeling it. She feels that she must be into the music so that the audience will be as well.

Brittney's first band she was in, was in fact, a reggae band. A group of friends joined together to play their favorite of the island tunes. Brittney played the keyboard and sang backup vocals also. Brittney has not forgotten reggae music. Althought it may not be the strongest influence in her origional pieces, she never forgets to perform a song or two at her shows. The next band that she was in was a band she put together after a friend of hers asked her to form a band for her high school's Battle of the Bands. The group consisted of her two best friends and a great friend that she had known for a while. Covering songs from bands like The Who, The Beatles, and Creedence Clearwater Revival, she was well-rounded in her knowledge of music. She played the keys in the band as well, but offered the front vocals this time. These bands were so meaningful to her personaly, and helped her along the way in her music career.

Brittney merges alternative, indie, and pop into one through her songs. Writing, and arranging each song that is recorded and performed is something in which Brittney takes great pride. Her first cd, Magical Sounds has a track listing of all different sounding songs. Not one resembles another. Her music is quite unique and simply portrays Brittney so well.

I know this has taken longer it should have, but you guys have asked a few questions that I have yet to respond to. Since music profiles can't leave comments (or I am just dumb), this is where I'll be answering your questions.

So here is the first set of questions.

Yes. I write the words and the music for all my songs. I arrange it, and co-produce it. I have a lot of time. :)

I am trying to set up an online store wher you can purchse my cd from the internet, but my problem is, I am computer stupid. Thankfully, my brother has a degree in something with computers (I now feel so uninvolved... haha) so he can help me set up the store.

I may come to Florida, I don't know. I want to go on tour sometime soon, but I am trying to build up name recognition where I can find a decent group of people who would know my tunes where I go. Once I feel I can form a decent tour where I will have people to come to the shows and sing along, I will be scheduling shows. Because I am in school it will have to be in the summer or over a break of some kind. I have a job this summer working with autistic kids in Houston, so it will be hard during the middle, so sometime toward the end of the summer, check back and I may have some shows booked. If you guys can let me know that I have a legit following somewhere out of the area, let me know.

peace, love, and be well.

Let It Go actual release date

Hi guys. I know that some of you would like to know about when you can get your hands on an actual cd. The answer is, April. I am sorry it has been taking so long, but there were so many speed bumps if you will (and i do hope you will) and hardships along the way, but i persevered and came out on top. The original date, as you may have known, for the release was Febuary 27, but with all that has happened has forced me to push that date back so far that I cant even start booking shows for a cd release round of tours because a lot of people are not looking at their April days yet.

If you live far away and feel strongly enough for my music as to say that I should come play in your town, go ahead an ask. I have had requests from far away places that were even across large bodies of water that needless to say, i was unable to satisfy due to lack of funds and free time at the moment ( but hopefully i can later). Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions, I would love to answer.

peace and love.
