Britta Phillips is an American musician, songwriter, actress and voice actor. In the music community, she is best known as a member of shoegaze bands The Belltower and Luna, as well as one half of the duo Dean and Britta; both Luna and Dean & Britta are music projects with her husband Dean Wareham (Galaxie 500 frontman).

Subjects included Dennis Hopper, Lou Reed, Edie Sedgewick and Nico. 13 Most Beautiful: Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests was released as a CD and DVD in 2009. Dean and Britta also score films together, most notably Noah Baumbach’s The Squid & The Whale.
