Brittany Smith (born September 21, 1985), is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and model. She was part of the pop duo Brit & Alex with her identical twin sister, until their breakup in 2009.
Career

Smith began appearing on TV at six months of age on One Life to Live and by the age of 15 she was a popular spokesmodel for the successful hair care brand John Frieda and signed to The Ford Agency. During this tenure she and identical twin sister Alexia formed the pop duo Brit & Alex, where they became famous for appearing in TV commercials for John Freida’s Sheer Blonde line (where they would be known to fans as “The Sheer Blonde Twins”) and later signed with Interscope Records. They also went to England in the hopes of establishing a musical career there, but would achieve little success, having reached number 75 on the UK Singles Chart with “Let It Go” in 2008.

After the duo broke up in 2009 and due to Alex’s decision to go to college, Brittany continued with her singing and acting career, signing with Jive Records and recording under the name Matisse, naming herself after the famous painter. And like the famous namesake, Matisse wants to follow her path: “Over the years people have tried to make me into something I’m not,” she says, “but I’m not interested in being the next ‘so and so’ or compromising myself to be a one hit wonder. I want to make music that I like and that I can be proud of.”

In 2024, American singer JoJo Siwa released a song titled “Karma”. The song went viral and received negative feedback. This then led to a leak of an unreleased version recorded by Smith in 2011. Smith’s version of the song was praised online, which led to Smith officially releasing the song across all streaming platforms. In an interview with Page Six, Smith revealed that the song was originally intended to be her debut single however, her label changed plans last minute. As of 2024, Smith works at Color Wow but has plans to venture into music again.
