Known for her rich, warm-bodied tone and excellent facility on the violin, Brooke immediately draws her audience to her sound. Her electrifying energy and presence instantly command the stage. With a musical background rooted in the European Classical tradition and influenced by the innovative world of Jazz and R&B, Brooke is ready to explore new heights of musical artistry.

What does Brooke's title, "Viosocalist", mean? A "Viosocalist" is a violin player whose playing soulfully sings on the violin. This is an original title that was inspired by Atlanta Executive Producer, Doug Brown in 2007. Brooke delivers a unique expression of soulful, yet smooth vocal qualities on the violin.

As a southern girl from Aberdeen, North Carolina, Brooke was constantly exposed to her Father's favorite music: country, rock, and R&B music. At the same time, her Mother, a classical pianist and music educator, taught her piano at age 5 after Brooke had "played around" with the piano at age 3. In addition to an interest in the piano, Brooke also had an interest in dance. She began interpreting various musical rhythms by dancing. The sound of music and rhythm brought overwhelming excitement to Brooke, and she couldn't help but clap, stomp, and sing!

In 1990, Brooke and her family moved to Marietta, Georgia. Although piano and dance studies continued, she nurtured a strong desire to express herself through another musical instrument. It always lingered in her mind. The violin was that instrument. The vibrant sounds of the violin were like none other to Brooke. Instantly, she knew that this was the instrument to expand her musical horizon. She began violin studies by the age of 10 and the rest is history! Since that day, artists such as Leila Josefowicz, Regina Carter, "Stuff" Smith, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, as well as her music teachers, friends, and mentors have influenced and shaped her musical mind forever.

The fruit of her life's musical journeys and adventures is creatively reflected throughout her debut album, "Expressions". This unique collection of original compositions and arrangements reflects a fresh, contemporary approach to the violin through jazz, classical, R&B and more.

On the Atlanta music scene, Brooke performs regularly as a Contemporary Artist of the Violin, playing Contemporary styles of Jazz, Gospel, R&B and more! Brooke has shared the stage with National Recording Jazz Saxophonist, Antoine Knight, jazz and funk violinist, Michael Ward, Atlanta's Electric Violinist, Ken Ford, nationally recognized Hip-Hop violinist, Ashanti Floyd a.k.a The Mad Violinist, The HudsonOnBass Band, Smooth Jazz Saxophonist, Antonio Allen, and National Recording Jazz Trumpeter, Joey Summerville. Brooke holds a BM degree in Violin Performance from Florida State University.
