Seattle’s Brittany Davis has released her debut album, 'Image Issues,' which she calls an "audio movie." It’s a sonic journey that weaves in many musical genres and spoken word vignettes backed by soundscapes. Davis is blind and audio is a heightened sense for her. She also has synesthesia and hears music from smells.
Davis talks with Emily Fox about raising her voice in the face of adversity in this album.
“Being an overweight Black blind female from the wrong side of the tracks that has no physical capital, no cultural capital, but I do have a message and I had to make a choice to raise my voice despite all of the things that I didn’t have. I had to use the one thing I did have,” Davis says. 
Davis also talks about finding a strong musical community in Seattle and shares the stories behind three important tracks on her album.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
