Brit (BritChick - more about that later) was at a crossroads...

Coming from a musical family she is an accomplished pianist and studied music with "The Royal School of Music" and the famous "Guildhall School of Music, Speech & Drama in London, England". Brit started piano lessons at the age of 5 and still has her first Yamaha acoustic guitar which was given to her by her parents at the age of 7. From an early age her Father would drive her all over England so she could compete in Music Festivals.

"There was something missing", Brit recalls "but then on several trips to the USA back in the early 90's I discovered Country Music and just knew that was the missing piece of the jigsaw".

Acting with her heart she packed up what she could carry and was on her way to the USA within a week, "looking back it was a pretty major decision but at the time just felt right. That was 18 years ago and apart from missing family and food I never regretted my decision. I feel privileged to be in Country Music at a time when the world is getting smaller and Country Music is getting bigger". It's second nature for Brit to 'hop across the pond' many times each year to visit family and perform "and stock up on English tea and food. On the last trip we actually filled Wembly arena in London with Country Music Fans" Brit recalls.

As well as writing and performing Country Music Brit has gained valuable insight into the Country Music Industry by working closely with many leading Country Artists including Billy Ray Cyrus, Collin Raye, Sherrie Austin, Tammy Cochran (to name a few). "I've learned so much in the studio and just hanging around backstage and feel very fortunate to know many Country Artists as my friends" says Brit, "I've also been an Organizational member of the CMA for many years now, it's great that Country Music is getting more International recognition".

How do you relax?
"In my spare time I love to (sleep in!) take off for a day boating on the lake behind my house with my dogs. I love the tranquility which always seems to inspire me to write lyrics and music for new songs. To wind-down I also love to sit listening to music and make my own latch hook rugs which I hang around my home".

Bad Habits?
"I still can't resist indulging in a good cup of English tea and biscuits several times a day!" says Brit "and I'm a compulsive shoe shopper"

How did the name BritChick come about?
"Actually that was the local Country Radio jocks. I used to call in to chat to them and they'd say 'that Brit Chick is on the line', naturally this soon became BritChick and the name just stuck" says BritChick smiling...
