Brittany Holt: The Power of Being Delusional: Why Believing in Yourself Is the Key to Success

CHAT SESSION 130 with Brittany Holt

Topic- The Girl Who Manifested a Tour

Monday 3^rd November 2025 1pm https://rppfm.com.au

Growing up, Brittany Holt was always captivated by the power of music. In a world often filled with chaos, music became her escape—a way to quiet the noise in her mind. From watching her first MTV music videos to attending her first concerts, Brittany knew from a young age that this was what she was meant to do. She wanted to express herself in a way that helped others feel seen—and, if only for a moment, escape the struggles of the world around them.

Determined to pursue her passion, Brittany trained as a dancer, singer, and actor from an early age. She immersed herself in the world she loved so deeply, auditioning for anything she could and performing every chance she got. But, as life often does, things took an unexpected turn. By the time she finished high school, Brittany was grappling with severe mental health challenges. Anxiety made even the simplest tasks feel impossible. Everyday responsibilities became overwhelming, and she found herself increasingly isolated—not only from friends but also from the version of herself she once knew.

Overcome by self-doubt and the relentless noise in her own mind, Brittany made the painful decision to step away from singing.

Everything changed one day when the isolation became too much to bear. She picked up a pen and began writing down how she felt. That writing turned into a song—her very first single, "Play Pretend." The song explored the masks people wear to fit in, the way nothing felt real, and the exhausting charade of pretending to be okay. Pouring her soul into the lyrics and creating a music video for it reignited the spark of the little girl who used to dream in front of MTV. When that music video was played on MTV Australia, Brittany felt a wave of inspiration return. Hearing from others who connected with her song and felt less alone because of it became the fuel she needed to keep going.

Over the next few years, Brittany released song after song—each one a vulnerable window into her inner world. She dove fearlessly into themes of self-doubt, mental health, and anxiety, most notably with her single "Scream Out." As passionate as she was, though, the dream often felt just out of reach. Despite pouring her heart into her music, Brittany often felt like no one was listening. After years of effort and rejection, the dream she had carried for so long seemed further away than ever.

Then came 2024—a year that would change everything.

Just as Brittany’s spark was beginning to fade, she received a call from Australian Idol. The show invited her to audition, giving her the chance to step into the role of the pop artist she had always aspired to be. It felt like fate. In a whirlwind, she was flown to Sydney, where producers made exciting promises.

Despite battling some of the worst anxiety of her life, Brittany faced her fears and took the stage for her first audition. Singing on television had always felt daunting, yet she pushed through—and made it to the next round. For a brief moment, it felt like her time had finally come.

But during the second round, her journey came to an abrupt halt. Brittany was one of three contestants called to stand before the judges—only to watch the other two receive golden tickets while she was sent home. She left the stage heartbroken, convinced this might have been her last shot.

The flight home was heavy with disappointment. Watching others’ dreams come true while hers seemed to slip away left her questioning whether she should keep going. But after days of reflection, Brittany realized this wasn’t the end—it was a test. She could let rejection defeat her or use it as motivation.

She chose the latter.

At the start of 2025, Brittany felt a new kind of magic in the air. She released her single "Psychopath" and began promoting it daily on TikTok. At the same time, she returned to the practices that once kept her grounded: manifestation, journaling, and creating vision boards. On a blank page, with no fanbase and no guarantees, she wrote: “I’m going to have a headline tour around Australia.”

She visualized it every day, believing it—even when there was no evidence yet.

Slowly but surely, her manifestation began to take shape. Her TikTok presence grew rapidly, "Psychopath" started resonating with listeners, and a loyal fanbase began to form. Fans messaged Brittany with long, heartfelt paragraphs about how her music was helping them through their own struggles. For the first time in her life, she felt a deep and lasting sense of purpose.

That year, Brittany sold out her first headline show in Melbourne. For the first time, she experienced the surreal moment every artist dreams of: fans singing her lyrics back to her. It was everything she had worked for—made real not through luck, but through grit, manifestation, and what she proudly calls being “delusional.” Believing in herself even when no one else did.

This mindset became the inspiration behind her next single, "Delusional." The song is a bold anthem about blocking out the noise, ignoring the doubters, and holding onto your vision—even when it seems impossible. It later became the title track of her debut EP Delusional and the namesake of her first headline tour: The Delusional Tour.

What happened next was a full-circle moment.

Completely independent, Brittany Holt not only launched her first Australian headline tour—she sold out shows in both Melbourne and Brisbane. At her Melbourne show, she was speechless to see fans lining up from 8 a.m. just to secure front-row spots. They held handmade signs, brought thoughtful gifts, and sang her lyrics back to her with unshakable passion.

Everything Brittany had envisioned as a young girl—everything she had journaled, manifested, and dreamed about—was happening right in front of her eyes.

Brittany Holt’s story is one of resilience, belief, and unwavering commitment. From a teenager silenced by anxiety to an independent artist selling out her own tour, she embodies the message she now shares with her growing audience: You can achieve anything you put your mind to.

Through music, manifestation, and a fierce devotion to her younger self’s dream, Brittany has proven that sometimes, being “delusional” is exactly what it takes.

Keep believing, keep dreaming, and never give up.
