The Artist Who Dreamed Out Loud: Brit Fox’s Music Shines in Oscar-Winning Film Anora
Once upon a time — in the quiet suburbs outside Chicago — there was a little girl who danced to the rhythm of her own heartbeat. Her voice, small but certain, carried through church pews and into the ears of anyone who would listen. She didn’t know it then, but music would one day become her compass, her calling, her lifeline.
That girl grew into a woman named Brit Fox — and now, her music echoes in the halls of Hollywood, featured in the multi-Oscar-winning film Anora.
“I’ve always felt that it was in my greater vision, but I had no idea how those steps would come about.”
— Brit Fox
Three songs — “Mazuma,” “Short Notice,” and “Frosty” — born in studio sessions and late-night writing spells, now live on the silver screen in a film by acclaimed director Sean Baker. A Cinderella story in its own right, Anora tells of fast love, family tension, and the search for self — a perfect mirror to Brit’s own journey.
Her story winds through college dorms at Kent State, the comforting chaos of Bad Racket Recording Studio in Euclid, and quiet moments scribbled in diaries during times of heartbreak. There were chapters of struggle, and others of clarity. But in every season, she kept showing up — for her craft, for her community, and for herself.
“I take what comes to me, and I push it through the mic... hopefully we make something beautiful out of this.”
Now a mother, a mentor, and the founder of **Brit Fox Studios**, she’s not only making music — she’s shaping futures, curating soundtracks, and helping other voices be heard.
