Brooke was brought up in London then spent her teenage years in France. On return to England, her father, a working musician himself, gave Brooke the best piece of advice she’s ever had..which was go out on the street and start busking the first few songs she’d written.
From that day Brooke has busked around Europe and Central America, played gigs in Moscow and New York, toured Germany and France gathering a loyal fanbase that helped her fund this debut album in online pre-sales. Brooke can still be found on a Sunday busking at Columbia Road Flower Market in East London and playing her Monday night residency at The Jamboree Venue in Limehouse.
