Full Bio:

   

Brooke’s career began on Prince Edward Island, in a loud punk band as the lead guitarist & vocalist at the ripe old age of 12. She later connected with music by the likes of Bruce Cockburn, Rickie Lee Jones, The Police and Joni Mitchell. She has flourished into a road warrior, touring throughout Canada, the US, Europe and Japan.

She has three records under her belt and a fourth on the way in late 2011. Her most recent recording is SHAKE IT OFF. Recorded by her collaborator (and husband) Don Ross at their own Hurricane Sound Design studio, Brooke produced the CD herself and played virtually all the instruments. Earlier, in 2007, Brooke released YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING as part of her publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music in New York City.

Brooke’s tunes have been heard in recent feature films (THE YEAR OF GETTING TO KNOW US, starring Sharon Stone, Lucy Liu and Jimmy Fallon), and on hit television shows (The L Word and Women’s Murder Club). She won the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals’ 2007 Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award.

2011 will see the release of Brooke’s fourth full-length album. This self titled record will include reworked versions of some of Brooke’s best songs as well as new material, produced in a format ready for commercial radio. Getting back to her rockier roots, Brooke has re-immersed herself into a more electric sound, while still keeping her acoustic and electric guitar playing front and centre. This self-titled album will be available internationally through DEP/Universal Music Distribution on her own record label imprint, Sparkle Plenty Music.

Brooke will also record her fifth album this November 2011 for the German label Stockfisch Records. This will be a more acoustic feeling album and be released followed by a May/June 2012 European tour.

Miller’s new business relationships with Dacapo Publishing & DEP/Universal, both based in Montreal QC, will help bring her to a truly international audience, using Montreal as a launching pad.

She and her family recently relocated to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Brooke once again feels firmly planted in the Maritimes, where her heart for music was first born.
