Britt Warner is an artist from Los Angeles who has lent her voice to Burberry, Hulu, Netflix, and HBO, covering songs and writing originals in an emotional style she dubs "cinematic pop."
After years of focusing on trailer music and releasing singles along the way, Britt put out her first full-length artist album, "The Ransom,” in September 2024. Collaborators on the 10-track LP include Flea, Troy Everett, Jawnmo, Taiina, Jamie Biden, Jordan Ware, and Jesse Gallagher. A companion book of stories, lyrics, and photos will be available in March 2025.
"My song lyrics are often metaphorical, themed around death, rebirth, and overcoming challenges," she says, "while my literary stories and essays are absurdist, sexual, and very direct. To me, it's all part of the same thing: freedom of expression and reflecting the times in one form or another."
Then there’s “The Portal,” released January 2025, an experimental album comprised of lush vocal harmonies, textures, and lyrics improvised on the spot. All twelve songs were created during one of the Song A Day For A Month challenges, and fittingly, sadfam records is the label behind the release. Included with the album is a companion book of nightly diary entries and daily photos from the same period the music was made. The cover art is a self-portrait of BW painting a bedroom mural, also conjured during that fruitful month.
“It was January 2021, so we were still in the thick of the Pandemic,” she explains. “I lived alone and filled my days with as much activity as possible. All those creative projects distracted me from how scared I felt, while also helping to process emotions and grief that needed to move through me. I still went to work building stuff for other people, too.”
Indeed, her hands extend beyond the page. Many in the community of Northeast Los Angeles know Britt as "Ms. Fixit," a creative carpenter and painter who takes a wabi sabi approach to beautifying the homes and businesses peppering the ever-shifting landscape.
"All of my art - and life - is an attempt to know myself better, as well as to work with what I've got in a playful way."
Now she’s turning her photography and drawings into clothing designs, which are available on this website in limited runs via sustainable print-on-demand sources.
Whatever form it takes, Britt's voice soars beyond the perceived limitations of reality, inspiring others to aim for the same.
