Like an undiscovered lottery winner, there’s a record store employee out there who’s unaware that country music darling Catherine Britt wants to reward him.
“Bless him!” laughs the Aussie singer. “Elton John was browsing and looking for new talent and the guy said, ‘Listen to this girl. She’s only 16 and she sings and writes her own songs.’” Elton loved her debut album, Dusty Smiles And Heartbreak Cures.
“Within 24 hours I had every record label in Nashville calling and saying, ‘Elton has given us your album and can we sign you.’”
She’s now released her fourth, self-titled album ‘Catherine Britt’. But it hasn’t all been a fairytale. The 25-year-old from Newcastle, NSW, was just 17 when she went to Nashville by herself, and admits she’d party too hard, and cry herself to sleep from loneliness.
But experiences good and bad have produced the accomplished Golden Guitar winner she is today.
“It’s important to be honest when it comes to song writing … I think that’s what my fans enjoy about me.”
