Brittney Spencer, a country singer-songwriter known for her free-spirited nature, embraces a universal approach to the genre. Originally from Baltimore, the 35-year-old artist later found her home in Nashville, Tennessee, where she cultivated a deep passion for country music.

“I don’t know, I’m a plus-size Black girl from Baltimore City, in Nashville doing country music. On paper that sounds weird as hell!” she said in an interview with CBS News.

Spencer has shared the stage with other country music stars, including Willie Nelson, Reba McEntire, Bob Weir and The Highwomen. Her debut album, My Stupid Life, featured her hit single “Bigger Than the Song,” which was part of Billboard’s Top 10 best country songs of 2023.
