  • Artist Name: Brit Taylor
  • Hometown:  Knott County, Kentucky

What project(s) are you currently working on?

Working on a record with Dave Brainard that is slated for release later this year.

What inspired you to pursue a career in music and when did you know?

 I  started singing in a tourist group in East Kentucky called the Kentucky Opry Jr  Pros when I was 7 years old. That definitely lit the fire.

If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?

 I think I would start a business of some sort. I  love building things from scratch and being able to be creative and have the opportunity to grow things. I don’t think I  would do so great with a real job. 🙂

What is your favorite downtime activity?

Gardening! Both food and flowers. And hanging out with all my animals! I    have a small mini farm outside of Nashville. More like a small petting zoo. 6 goats 8 chickens, 3 dogs and a 3 legged cat!

Who is your biggest celebrity crush?

Oh boy! I  don’t think about stuff like that! Hmm Chris Pratt? I    love the funny guys.

Who is your favorite sports team(s)?

 Kentucky Wildcats of course!

What is the last movie that you watched?

Oh goodness.  I think I fell asleep during that last movie I watched!  Something on netflix!

What is the last album you listened to?

Either Brandy Clark or Jason Isbell. I’ve been bouncing back and forth between the two. They’re so good!

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?

 That’s a hard one. There’s so many great records I  love. At the moment I would have to pick Bobbi Gentry and Glen Cambell’s duet record.

What is the greatest country song of all time?

 Gosh. There’s so many fantastic country songs.  I love any good ol country song that’ll make me cry. Anything written by Harlan Howard.

What has been your favorite city/town that you’ve visited out on the road?

Denver, Colorado

What is your favorite meal?

I eat pretty healthy most of the time but I  love a good ole southern breakfast. Biscuits gravy, pork chops eggs and fried apples.

Who is your dream duet partner?

Willie Nelson

Who would you like to go on tour with?

 Chris Stapleton

What is your ultimate career goal(s)?

To be heard. There’s so much stuff being put out into the world and so many things fighting for people’s attention,  I   just  hope the music I make actually makes its way to people’s ears.
