Britt Black (born Brittin Karroll; February 22, 1985), daughter of Peter Karroll from Her Royal Majesty's Records, is a Canadian rock musician. Her musical career began at the age of ten when she co-wrote with pop rock artist Bif Naked for the track "Violence", released on Lava/Atlantic. At the age of fourteen Britt founded the all female teen group LiveonRelease. The band was signed to Warner Music where it released two albums, "Seeing Red" and "Goes On A Field Trip". The success of these records landed the band on international showcases, along with starting a blitz on Canada's media including several high rotation music videos and spots on national TV & radio shows. The band's premier single "I'm Afraid Of Britney Spears" was featured on the soundtrack for the movie Dude, Where's My Car?. When LiveonRelease eventually broke up, Black was quickly taken on by Bif Naked to perform as lead guitarist. More recently, Black released her first solo album, "Blackout," which was released in Canada in 2005 and in America on July 25, 2006 through Bodog Music/Sony/Red. At the end of 2007 Britt Black announced on her MySpace that she was taking a break from touring to write and record her second album, but in February 2008 she also announced on her MySpace that she is developing a new band. The name of the new band is Stay Beautiful which features Britt Black and Marcus Ireland on lead vocals. In March 2009 Britt announced on her MySpace that she will now be playing guitar in Lillix. In April 2010, Lillix announced on their website that she had left the band "as of winter 2009."
Her song : "Night Time" was included in the game Scarface : The World is Yours' soundtrack.
