[edit]

Brittain began his career playing drums in the band Oh No Fiasco.[6] Oh No Fiasco was signed to Five Seven Music where they released their debut EP, No One's Gotta Know.

In 2024, he joined American rock band Linkin Park as their new drummer, after original drummer Rob Bourdon declined to rejoin the reunited band. Brittain is one of two new members alongside new vocalist Emily Armstrong.[7]
