Australian singer-songwriter Tia-Brittany introduces DTF, a new album led by the focus single “Don’t Talk Feelings.” The Sydney-based artist brings together contemporary pop and cinematic storytelling across the project, drawing on personal experiences and her wider creative interests to explore emotion, vulnerability, and real-life stories.
“Don’t Talk Feelings” sits at the heart of the album, reflecting the emotional honesty that runs through DTF. The project was created with John Ho and Daniela Rivera, whose belief in the material encouraged Tia-Brittany to pursue Grammy consideration for the album. Their support also strengthened her confidence in the project and its potential to reach listeners beyond Australia.
Tia-Brittany’s creative life extends across several disciplines. She trained at the Australian Institute of Music, has studied acting, currently studies psychology, and is co-writing a television series. She also trains in classical opera with vocal coach Maria Timofeeva, with occasional guidance from her husband, Andrew Goodwin, an Australian tenor. These different areas of study and creative work have become part of the way she approaches songwriting and storytelling.
Her interest in visual storytelling is also reflected in the work surrounding DTF. Tia-Brittany collaborated with internationally recognised filmmaker Pauline Chan on the album’s music video. Their creative partnership continues through an upcoming television series they are developing alongside Geoff Newton, giving Tia-Brittany another opportunity to explore storytelling outside of music.
Her background is equally varied. Born into a family with English, Irish and Barbadian roots, she has developed a creative career that brings together music, acting, film and other forms of storytelling. Her lifelong love of cinema has had a particularly strong influence on her creative outlook, while her studies in psychology have added another area of interest to her work.
Personal experience has also played an important role in shaping Tia-Brittany’s songwriting. Caring for her mother throughout breast cancer treatment became one of the defining periods of her life and strengthened the resilience she carries into her work. That experience, alongside her other creative interests, contributes to the emotional honesty at the centre of DTF.
Tia-Brittany has already received recognition from Australian media, including coverage in The Daily Telegraph in Sydney. With DTF and “Don’t Talk Feelings,” she brings together the different sides of her creative life while keeping the focus on songwriting, emotion and storytelling.
