Just this past Thursday, July 18th, I got to perform live for MTV with an up and coming country artist, Brett Young! This whole concept was pretty rad! Bullseye University was set up by Target in conjunction with MTV to broadcast live, interactive, and yes an EXTREMELY addicting reality dorm life. The broadcast lasted July 15th-18th with a final concert by four bands: Brett Young, Dinner and a Suit, Royal Teeth, and Asher Monroe.

The whole set-up was pretty freakin’ amazing! One stage and 5 dorm rooms decorated with awesome dorm decor from Target! Right smack in the middle of UCLA, the perfect campus to hold a college-themed event.

Brett Young’s band: Christopher Allis (drums), ME (viola), Brett Young (lead vocals/guitar), Joe Ayoub (bass) & Noah Needleman (mando/guitar/vocals). Noah is the mastermind behind forming the band. An awesome singer-songwriter himself, Noah has been recently working with Brett recording his new album.

So a little about Brett Young…after a severe arm injury from baseball which took him off the pitcher’s mound of a major league baseball career, Brett turned to his music and began to take it more seriously. With three albums on an indie label under his belt, he’s going into the studio this summer with a Grammy award winning engineer to record his latest songs. With his amazing voice and super catchy country/pop songs, Brett is definitely an artist to look out for!

It’s been a while since I introduced myself. Hi! It’s been a while since I introduced myself. Hi! I’m Andrea Whitt, musician, artist, stylist and model. 
I get asked often about my pedal steel playing and thought I’d share a little of my musical journey.

My first instrument was guitar when I was 8. I was given an acoustic guitar for Christmas and by April I had taught myself a handful of songs that I had my friends sing along with me at my 9th birthday. That year I started playing viola, and went on to get my masters degree at University of Cincinnati CCM in viola performance. I was getting so tired of playing the same classical rep that I joined the jazz department. 
I moved to LA after college, and as a surprise to myself was able to support myself doing music full time. Except a gig as a spray tan artist, but that’s another story 🤣 A huge part of my musical career has been teaching private lessons, group classes and conducting youth orchestras. 

I played in rock bands, orchestras, did sessions, random gigs (many shitty ones) until I landed the gig with Shania Twain. I was hired as a violist and fiddle player. I purchased my first violin for this gig and went to local bluegrass jams to learn fiddle styles, definitely fell on my face every time. It was when I was in Shania’s band that I saw a pedal steel for the first time. I was obsessed. I immediately ordered one off of eBay and had it sent to my hotel room in Vegas. Being a Grateful Dead fan I decided the priority was to learn all of the iconic Jerry Garcia pedal steel solos. Note for note, I taught myself steel with all of Jerry’s signature licks.

Shortly after the Shania gig, I got hired to play in Zucchero’s band. A three year world tour to 48 countries. Even though I had only been playing steel for 3 years I got to perform on steel on a handful of songs every show. When you’re sitting at a new instrument in front of 20,000 people you learn fast!

Now pedal steel is just as much a part of my career as viola and fiddle. Thank you for supporting my journey, many of you have been following since my first steel post. I have lots of new announcements coming soon, thanks for joining me on this long strange trip!
