Brittany Aquamarine
Songwriter, Musician, Piano and guitar Artist
mystic soulfolk and ethereal grooves
Brittany Aquamarine is a California-based singer-songwriter; her music lives in two sound worlds. On solo piano and guitar, she explores Mystic Soulfolk, playing melodies with poetic, abstract lyricism similar to late-60s folk artists like Joni Mitchell (Song to a Seagull) or Nick Drake. These songs are grounded, intimate, and reflective, inclusive of a space for lyrical and emotional exploration.
On keys, she moves into Ethereal Groove, creating jazz-inflected, groove-driven soundscapes that are experimental. You may hear sensibilities of Björk, Portishead, or Sade. In this style, a blend of classical and jazz-influenced piano lands upon steady beats and melodic bass grooves along with evocative lyrics and expressive vocals.
These two modes form a journey from the grounded to the ethereal - from intimate to groove-infused. Across both instruments, her work is anchored by a soulful and thoughtful awareness and a desire to transport listeners through contrasting yet complementary sonic worlds.
When playing as a trio, John Schelling, on bass, adds funk, jazz and melodic elements and on drums, Greg "Ceni" holds the rhythmic pulse and texture, providing a reliable rhythmic foundation for the band.
Brittany loves to share her passion for music and she believes we all can choose to use the pieces we have to instigate necessary creative expression and connect to others.
