We recently connected with Brittany Mackie and have shared our conversation below.
Brittany, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?
One of the reasons that I write, record, and release music is to share my personal story and my experience as a Christian who has struggled with fear and anxiety. In the fall of 2024, I had the opportunity to release an album of original songs all about faith and mental health (out now!). My hope is to encourage others who are struggling in silence, letting them know that they’re not alone!
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Brittany Mackie. I’m an independent recording artist and songwriter. I release songs about faith and mental health (out on all streaming platforms!) based on my story as a Christian who has struggled with mental health – especially anxiety. I am most proud of the album that I released in 2024 called “More Than Normal” because it talks about the reality of living with depression and anxiety, as well as how it relates to personal faith. I want listeners to walk away knowing they’re not alone, and that God is compassionate and loving when we are hurting!
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I am still in the process of building my audience on social media (aren’t we all?)! My growth has been slow and steady, but what I’ve noticed is that when I started really opening up and telling my story, I started seeing more engagement and impact. My advice is to be consistent and be yourself!
What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?
As an independent recording artist and songwriter, one of the best ways you can support us is to listen to our music and if you like it, share it with others! Every stream and every share helps us. And if you love our music, please let us know! It really means a lot to us when you share how our music impacted you.
