About the Artist

Brooke was born in Raytown, Missouri. By her seventh birthday, she started playing the guitar and by the time she was 8 years old, she was playing “gigs” at local churches, fairs, pizza parlors, and the state prison. By age 9 she had made her first television appearance on a local talent show and had done a one-hour live radio show. At age 10, her family relocated in Kansas. As she progressed through junior high and high school, Brooke got involved in every choral group, play and musical possible. She found her creative outlet in doing theater while continuing to write songs such a "Boogie Down Disco Lane" in junior high and serious love songs in high school. While in Kansas, Brooke found her creative outlet in theater while continuing to write songs in junior high and in high school. Brooke attended Stanford University, in California, and after graduating moved to Los Angeles to pursue her obsession with music. Since then, she has never looked back. Brooke has been making her living as a professional artist performing in local bars, coffeehouses, restaurants, mountain lodges as well as venues such as The Coach House, The Crazy Horse and Universal City Walk in Los Angeles and the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas for well over 5 years. In 1996, Brooke recorded “Movie Star” with her producer, Johnny Pierce, and put together her first band, playing at LA clubs such as The Troubadour, Ghengis Cohen, and others. During 1998 radio celebrity Rodney Bingenheimer (KROQ) debuted her song "Mainstream" and chose it for his "Top 5 Picks of the Week."

Songs from “Tulips Bleed” have been featured on the television shows “Ed”, "Charmed" and "Dawson's Creek". Her songs have since also been used in several independent films.
