INTERVIEW WITH UP AND COMING MUSIC ARTIST ENTRA

 ENTRA




"Entra" was born Brittany Simmons on February 14, 1989.  Raised in New Bedford  MA, she grew up with her mother, father, and her older brother, who played a major role in her life.  She always had a deep love for music, art, and poetry.  It wasn't until she was around the age of 9 that she actually wrote her first "rap".  She continued to write poetry because it became therapeutic.  It was easier for her to express herself and "organize her thoughts" with a pen and paper.  By age 17  a sub shop co-worker convinced her to record a few tracks in his studio.   Although she never did anything with those tracks, she loved recording and she never lost her passion for writing.   At age 23, right after having her son, she ended up in multiple studios that she searched for herself.  She began writing even more and even better, and realized she was getting No negative reactions. In fact, she was getting the exact opposite, people loved it. With that being said, she finally decided to pursue her dream.
