Runaround
Brooke
Pop rock artist (one day to be pop rock icon) Brooke believes in singing music that inspires excitement. Her talent matches her belief and those are the kinds of songs she creates. “When upbeat music starts, the excitement multiplies and my energy electrifies.” There’s no doubt that excitement and electricity ripple across the hearts of those who experience Brooke’s magnificent singing and performing skills. But she also believes in singing emotive tunes, songs that slow down and take the time to touch the soul. “When I listen to ballads, I feel relaxed and at peace with the world.” To that end, she offers songs such as these that complement her feisty, upbeat tunes. Either way, the listener wins.
In Tune
But whatever Brooke is singing, it’s all about getting in touch with one’s self, both for her and the audience who hears her outstanding work. “Music to me is an avenue to get in tune with my feelings.” Singing for Brooke and hearing the music (for the rest of us) is an experience, a way for us to learn more about ourselves. It is the mark of a true artist.
Learning, Reflecting
Once we’ve learned about ourselves we can start to radiate ourselves. It’s all about self-knowledge and being comfortable with one’s self. These qualities contribute to Brooke’s music and enable her songs to be true self-expression. “Music choices reflect who we are. When I sing my music, I am sharing a part of me with the world. When my music touches someone or is meaningful to someone, that is the highest honor I can receive as an artist.”
Passion
Of course, when it all comes right down to it, passion is the key. Even with talent, a lack of passion is a lack of self-expression via one’s talent. “I sing because I love to sing, not because I want to be like someone else.” Brooke also views music as a jail breaker, something that allows us to escape the confines of ourselves. “It makes me feel free to be me.”
No Time!
Brooke’s creative schedule is hectic. Performances are quickly heading over the horizon, writing is constant and recording for a new album – “Runaround” – has just completed. She is hard at work, bringing her vision to life. “I have been likened to Chumbawumba’s ‘Tubthumping’ … I get knocked down, but I get up again. You’re never gonna keep me down! I focus on the fun in life as I journey on my roller coaster ride in the music world.”
