Biography
Catherine spent 6 years in Nashville and has toured, performed and recorded with some of music’s most respected names – Kasey Chambers, Paul Kelly, Sir Elton John, Shane Nicholson, Jerry Salley, Tim Rodgers & Kenny Chesney – and has worked with some of Australia’s and Americas finest producers.
Her recording career commenced in 2000 when at the age of 14 she released the EP In The Pines which produced the hit single ‘That Don’t Bother Me’ which featured and was co-written with Kasey Chambers. This release gained critical acclaim and was followed in 2001 by her debut album release Dusty Smiles And Heartbreak Cures which contained the hits singles ‘Hillbilly Pickin’ Ramblin’ Girl’ and ’46 Miles From Alice’ and produced her 1st ARIA Country Album of the Year Nomination.
In 2006 her second album Too Far Gone followed with ‘The Upside of Being Down’ being a top 40 hit in the USA and a #1 hit in Australia as was ‘Swingin’ Door’, ‘Poor Mans Pride’ & the title track. It also lead to her debut performance on the Grand Old Opry (then and still the youngest Australian to do so), a 2nd ARIA Country Album of the Year nomination and 3 CMAA nominations including Album of the Year, Single of the Year & Female Artist of the Year.
Her third album Little Wildflower was released in 2008 and contained the stunning and her 3rd Top 40 hit in the USA, ‘What I Did Last Night’. It was a #1 smash in Australia and earned her the 2009 CMAA Female Artist of the Year Award and nominations for CMAA Album of the Year, CMC Artist of the Year and ARIA Country Album of the Year. ‘Little Wildflower’ and ‘Not Your Cinderella’ also hit the #1 chart position in Australia.
Catherine Britt, released in 2010, has produced three #1 singles – ‘Can’t Change A Thing’, ‘Sweet Emmylou’ and ‘I Want You Back’ and brought her more CMAA and ARIA nominations for Country Album of the Year, her 4th consecutive, and Most Popular Australian Artist while also being awarded the 2010 CMA Global Artist of the Year.
In 2011 Catherine received her 1st APRA nomination for ‘Can’t Change A Thing’ and was again nominated for CMC Artist of the Year. Catherine was also named in the top 12 finalists for the 2011 Vanda & Young Songwriting Competition, Australia’s most prestigious, with ‘Sweet Emmylou’ and was placed second overall.
Country Music Channel (CMC) have announced that “the darling of Australian country music” will join the channel to present a new series of Alt Country and this sees her become the first person to ever host a video clip-based program on the channel and in October Catherine will appear at the 2011 Americana Festival in Nashville where she has been officially invited to perform.
Britt has accomplished the most essential job a singer \ songwriter can hope to do: make music that is at once fresh and invigorating enough to speak to a new generation of fans, and yet naturally and firmly rooted in country tradition and the essential truths it has always brought to light.
