Her love of theater stems from her love of storytelling. Brooke began writing songs when she was 14 and decided to write an original musical entitled "Something You Didn't Know" (which had its debut performance in 2020). Her love of stories combined with her southern roots have led her to create her own personal artist project as a singer songwriter. With influences including The Goo Goo Dolls, The Lumineers, Fleetwood Mac, Alanis Morisette, and Allison Kraus her original music showcases modern folk/rock fusion with poignant lyrics that will make the listener want to dance, cry, and everything in between.
