Brittany Bloom

Q. Thanks for interviewing with us tell us who you are and where you’re from?

A. Thank you for having me. Well, I am a singer/independent artist born and raised in Florence, South Carolina; currently residing in Atlanta, GA.

Q. Who or What inspired you to want to be a singer?

A. I grew up in a family full of singers. I sung in church and in school choirs. My Aunt Pie (who recently passed away February 2020) was a member in the band Chic with the legendary Niles Rodgers. I grew up with her posters and seeing her on TV. All those things I believe inspired me to sing. It was just something I liked to do.

Q. Tell us about your single “Breathe” and the meaning behind the song?

A. I have been seriously and professionally working as a singer for over the last decade. Within the last three years I made even more of a commitment to sacrifice luxuries and my wants in order to pour ALL of my efforts, time and money into my career. After years of not seeing as much progress as I wanted, I began to doubt myself, my decisions and then I fell into a depression. This song comes

from my pain. It’s a rallying cry to those that feel beaten down and have lost hope. It’s a motivational work that is intended to uplift and encourage us all to keep going. It is intended to inspire the masses and remind people that being down is a part of life, but we are able to push forward.

Q. I see you also have a clothing line how did you get started in that?

A. My mom, both of my grandmothers, my greatgrandmothers and so on, are/were seamstresses. I love to create! I’ve been designing clothes since I’ve been a child as well as singing. In 2015 I took a singing residency in China where I then started my clothing line. It is still a work in progress, but definitely another passion project of mine.

Q. What do you think is missing in today’s R&B music?

A. I’m not sure I’ll say anything is missing per say. I think “Today’s R&B” is just that, its what artist choose or are inspired to create for today. There are so many artist/sounds out there! Outside of the Hot 100 billboard charts you can find whatever you’re looking for in R&B. It just takes some searching at times.

Q. If you can go anywhere in the world where would you go?

A. I have been quite a few places but, I have never been to Africa. I would love to visit South Africa or Nigeria and the list goes on. I would love to go to experience it for myself. I would be curious of the inspiration I’d get from those travels.

Q. Are you working on any new projects?

A. Yes, I am! My hope is to finally release my EP soon!

Q. What have been one of your biggest accomplishments being in this industry?

A. I would say one big accomplishment was when I was acknowledged by DJ Enuff and his team at Hot97 in NYC. I then became the first Hot97 Spotlight artist. Another great accomplishment was being voted Atlanta’s Hottest Female Vocalist of 2020. These accomplishments mean a great deal coming from a small city in SC with no connections to the industry. It’s a testament and reminder to the work and seeds I’ve been sowing for years. I’m forever grateful.
