🎬 Brit Fox Awarded Ohio Arts Council Artist Opportunities Grant
A Major Step Forward in My Creative Journey
I’m honored to share that I received support from the Ohio Arts Council Artist Opportunities Grant during a pivotal period in my creative work.
This funding supported the development of my ongoing visual music project, Zoom, and helped me continue expanding my artistic practice as a composer, producer, performer, and visual creator based in Ohio.
What This Grant Made Possible
The Artist Opportunities Award allowed me to:
Explore new visual production technologies
Collaborate with emerging filmmakers and creative professionals in Ohio
Develop and refine visual music content for release across digital platforms
Continue building audience engagement through YouTube and streaming platforms
Strengthen my production workflow and creative direction for future projects
While the original large-scale filming concept evolved during the grant period, the support made it possible to continue meaningful creative development and expand the scope of my visual work in new and adaptive ways.
Sharing Public Support for the Arts
Public funding plays a critical role in sustaining independent artists and creative communities across Ohio. I’ve made a conscious effort to acknowledge this support publicly throughout my platforms.
During the grant period, I shared updates through:
My official website blog
Social media announcements
YouTube video descriptions tied to released visual content
These posts helped inform my audience that my work is supported by public arts funding and highlighted the importance of continued investment in Ohio’s creative economy.
Why Public Arts Funding Matters
Support from organizations like the Ohio Arts Council allows artists like myself to take creative risks, collaborate with other Ohio-based professionals, and develop work that contributes to the cultural identity of our state.
It also helps audiences better understand how public funding directly supports the creation of music, film, and visual storytelling that they experience online and in their communities.
Looking Ahead
This grant period has strengthened both my artistic direction and my commitment to building projects that connect Ohio creativity to a broader global audience.
I’m continuing to develop new visual music work, expand collaborative relationships, and explore innovative ways to share music-driven storytelling with wider audiences.
Thank you to the Ohio Arts Council for supporting artists who are shaping the future of Ohio’s creative landscape.
One Vision, One Dare, 51K Views: The Making of “Wicked Hot”
It’s wild to think the latest video I collabed on all started with me just walking down a hallway.
One day I was early (yes, early!!) to my recording session. James was wrapping up his session with Teyonno and another creator. As I was heading in, Teyonno stopped me and said, “Hey, you’re Brit!” He told me he’d reached out before and wanted to work together someday—he was interested in film and talked about wanting to get his music into TV shows, video games, all of it. I gave him a quick rundown on the best practices, thinking that might be the end of it for the moment.
Months later, we finally linked up in the studio. We recorded a single. Then months after that, an album. Then days after that, we did a Black Valve collab interview (still sitting in the vault 👀). And then, out of the blue, he texted me something that really showed just how much of a visionary he is.
On the phone he told me he shouldn’t love the song “Wicked Hot” as much as he does… so I dared him to make a video for it.
And let’s just say—I love people who take risks.
Fast forward: the video has already hit 51,000 views in just over a week. It’s made for kids, so the comments are turned off on YouTube, but the reactions I have gotten so far mean everything.
I’m just happy I got to witness one person’s vision turn into something real—and they’re only getting started.

A Festive Duo: Brit Fox and Sir Evans Light Up the Season with “Hello Christmas”
Brit Fox is back just in time for the holidays, and honestly, the timing couldn’t be better. After her single “Every Day a Holiday” snagged a feature on The Young and the Restless, she’s keeping the momentum going with a brand-new seasonal gem: “Hello Christmas.”
And this time, she’s not celebrating alone—Sir Evans steps in to add his signature charm. The two make an unexpectedly perfect duo, blending Brit’s bright, spirited delivery with Sir Evans’ smooth, steady presence. His contribution gives the track an extra layer of warmth, grounding the festive glow with a touch of soulful sincerity.
“Hello Christmas” feels like stepping outside into the first snowfall—bright, cozy, and a little nostalgic. Together, Brit and Sir Evans paint classic holiday scenes with ease: lights glowing, snow drifting, sleighs on the way. Their voices play off each other in a way that pulls you straight into the season.
What really elevates the track are the heartfelt moments. Lines like “Only thing I wanted for Christmas was you this year” hit even harder with both artists leaning into the emotion. And the playful rap break—full of gratitude, love, and good vibes—is a fun surprise that adds personality without losing the song’s heart.
If you’re building a holiday playlist this year, “Hello Christmas” is an easy must-add. It’s festive, modern, and filled with the kind of warmth that makes December feel a little more magical—especially with Brit Fox and Sir Evans teaming up to deliver it.
