About Me:
After high school, she had a long run of music in a successful local rock band with her siblings and best friends. In the midst of those years, Brooke and her younger sister won a competition to record their first single in Nashville, Tennessee with a respected Christian producer. From that experience, they became passionate about making a mark in the Christian rock industry and proved it by signing a developmental deal with Word/Curb/Warner Bros. Records as a duo. However, the two eventually parted ways amicably from that record deal and also as a duo.
Then on a whim, Brooke decided to audition for the hit television talent show, American Idol. After making it to the top 44 of American Idol season 5, she decided it was time to really pursue her own path in Christian rock music as a solo artist. Not soon after her American Idol television debut, Brooke made her own splash in the music world by signing a record deal with Provident/Sony BMG Records in late 2006. After a year of hard work on her self-titled debut album, her solo record finally released nationwide in August of 2008 to rave reviews. She supported the release of her album by going on tour nationally with many well-known Christian bands such as Pillar, Building 429, and Barlowgirl. She has opened for artists such as Skillet, Audio Adrenaline, Seventh Day Slumber, Jeremy Camp, Local H, The Guess Who, and many others. Brooke is also proudly endorsed by Fender Guitars and Taylor Guitars.
Brooke enjoys writing and performing music for the joy and privilege of it. She remains involved in the rock music scene after all these years to simply enjoy the gift of music, not to please any person or crowd. Although music is in her blood, it's definitely not her identity -- you will consistently hear her identify her self-purpose with her undying hope and faith in God.
Brooke is currently writing and recording with her new band VIALYNE and also teaches music locally when not on tour. She currently resides in North Chicago with her husband & guitarist Billy Adams.

Hey, Brooke! I was wondering where I can buy the two4one cd you made with your sister...if that's even possible anymore...I heard the songs you sang in the Fox news segment from 2006 and thought they were really good. :)
