Backstage with Britt Nicole

The past year has been a busy one for Britt Nicole. Her third studio album, Gold, was certified RIAA Gold with over 500,000 sales; she performed on the popular Girls of Grace conference tour and she and husband Joshua Crosby welcomed their first child, a daughter named Ella Brave Crosby on July 24, 2013.

The nominee for Female Artist of the Year at the 2014 K-LOVE Fan Awards stopped backstage at the awards to answer a question posed by young photographer (and fan) Jordan Jones ...

Jordan Jones - I think one of the first songs I heard by you was "When She Cried" and it really touched me where I was at at that point in my life. Have any other girls you've met talked to you about that song changing them?

Britt Nicole - Yes, that song was crazy. I never released it as a single but it's probably one of my biggest songs on the internet because a lot of young girls have really connected with the words. It's about a girl who is cutting and dealing with not knowing who she is. She's turning to the wrong things to really heal that pain. I had walked through some things in my life where I felt like I was turning to the wrong things and so I wanted to reach out to these girls and say, "God's right there with you. A lot times when you walk through things, you feel ashamed. You feel like you're the only one and you want to hide it. To bring it into the light has been awesome." So many girls come up to me now and they're like, "Hey, I used to do this but I don't do it anymore because God has healed me." That's what it's all about. I love when my music does that and influences my fans. It's really cool.
