Waddell began singing at the age of three in her home church, Truth Temple of Kannapolis, North Carolina. She, along with her brother and cousin, eventually became involved with the church's daily program on Charlotte TV station WAXN. In high school, she was a member of her school's advanced chorus group, and had the opportunity to perform with them at Carnegie Hall in New York. Waddell is also an alumna of Duke University's Brightleaf Music Workshop.
Waddell turned down a scholarship from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a full-time music career. She felt that God was calling her to concentrate on music instead of going to college. In 2004, she signed a management deal with Vertical Entertainment, and then signed a development deal with Word Records. Sparrow Records signed her in 2006, and her first album Say It was released on May 22, 2007. Britt Nicole was the opening act on the Winter Jam Tour with Sanctus Real, Hawk Nelson, Jeremy Camp, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Newsong.[1]

Britt's first music video, for the song "Believe", premiered on the Gospel Music Channel on September 22, 2007. The song was the 21st most-played song of 2008 on U.S. Contemporary Christian music radio stations according to R&R magazine's Christian CHR chart.[5]
