Brittany "Brit" Smith[2] (born December 3, 1985), formerly known as Matisse, is an American singer. She gained prominence from a young age as one half of a modeling duo with her identical twin sister Alex, appearing in various commercials. They later went on to pursue a music career and form the pop duo Brit & Alex, who were active from 2002 until their 2009 disbandment.
As a solo artist, Smith released her debut single "Better Than Her" in 2010, which topped the US Dance Airplay charts. She later signed with Interscope Records to release her 2013 single, "Provocative (hiDhi)" (featuring will.i.am). Due to the song underperforming, she briefly retired from her recording career. Following the release of JoJo Siwa's single "Karma" in April 2024, a version of the song recorded by Smith titled "Karma's a Bitch" went viral across social media platforms. She announced plans to return to the music industry.
