When first looking at the 20 year old Brittney Elizabeth one might think that she's just another in the line of cute looking, but limited talent, female artist that has splashed on the music scene in the last several years. Once her vocals start cracking through your stereo speakers though you'll quickly realize that she's different and has real talent.
 
Her trained vocals are clear, bright and passionate. Some of that passion comes from the fact that she's singing about actual events from her life. The songs are filled with her introspective thoughts about first love and following your dreams.
 
Most of the songs are taken from Brittney's journals and notes that she scribbled down while dating a boy that she met in math class as a sophomore in high school. The on and off again relationship didn't last but Brittney says the two still remain best friends.
 
"What I Live for is love and even though it hasn't worked out for me, for us, I'm just glad I got to experience it," Brittney said. "Whether it's happy or sad it is what gives me life. I completely believe in soul mates and finding that one person. I know that I'm not alone in believing this."
 
Breathe In is Elizabeth's debut release and mixes her singer-songwriter side with her pop rocker edge to create an interesting flow to the release.
 
Her musical influences come from many different styles of music. The softer side includes artist like Lisa Loeb, Sarah MacLachlan, and Dashboard Confessional while the pop-punk rocker influence comes from bands like, The Ataris and the queen of punk Patti Smith.
 
You might have heard some of Brittney's music already and not even known it.  Here's a list of some of the shows where her music has, or will be appearing on soon, including MTV shows- The Real World: Hollywood, The Paper, My Super Sweet 16, Engaged and Underage, The Diary Series, Trick It Out, Cribs, High School Stories, Newport Harbor and True Life.  Along with Lifetime Television's American Psychic Challenge, E! Entertainment- Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Oxygen Network's Bad Girls Club.
 
If you're looking for some singer-songwriter music with a pop rock edge to it then the sweet vocals of Brittney Elizabeth's Breathe In is a must buy.
