Growing up, Britton preferred picking flowers in the outfield to playing the actual game. He left sports behind and followed his intuition toward guitar and musical theatre. Britton's parents introduced him to '70s and '80s rock and folk music. When he was 13, he joined a classic rock band and a year later won a songwriting contest that gave him the opportunity to record with renowned engineer John Davenport, whose credits include Robert Palmer's "Riptide" album, as well as Bruce Springsteen's album "Born in the U.S.A." Britton is now embarking on his solo career as a music artist.
