Britton Buchanan is an American singer-songwriter & musician. He is the runner-up of season 14 of the American talent competition The Voice at the age of 18. He released his debut single "Cross My Mind" in 2020, and his debut album Something You Can Break in 2021. Britton went to Lee County High School in Sanford, North Carolina.


Early life

Britton picked up guitar at an early age and it ignited into his never-ending passion for singing and songwriting. Growing up in the small town of Sanford, NC, Britton worked hard to develop his sound and perfect his art. His parents introduced him to 70s and 80s rock and folk music and Britton immediately found the music he loved. He joined a classic rock band at age 13 and rocked out to Bruce Springsteen, all while penning his own music.

It was Britton’s songwriting talent that gave him the opportunity to record with renowned engineer John Davenport, whose credits include Robert Palmer’s “Riptide” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” album.


Career

The Voice (2018)

Buchanan's jaw-dropping performances on NBC’s “The Voice” helped him gain his fanbase and put the artist in the spotlight. He worked with superstar Alicia Keys and shocked the nation with his amazing covers of songs like Calum Scott’s “Dancing on my Own” and “What’s Love Got to Do With It” by Tina Turner. He finished the show as the season 14 runner-up.
