She began working at Big Yellow Dog shortly after graduating from the Music Business program at Middle Tennessee State University. In less than a year she was promoted to Creative Director. In 2012 veteran producer Byron Gallimore tapped her for his new venture, Red Vinyl Music.

When multi-hit-maker Jeremy Stover started his own publishing company in 2016, Brooke was a natural choice to work with the stellar team of writers he signed. Over the years she has developed her song sense working with some of Nashville’s top writers, including Josh Kear, Stover, Adam Hambrick and Kelly Archer. RED is enjoying a long string of cuts by artists like Jason Aldean, Brett Young, Justin Moore, to name a few.

Says Brooke, “ My greatest joy has been identifying raw undeniable talent, shaping them with the right creators and team members, and helping them identify, navigate, and amplify their own unique lane in commercial music.” To this end she has stepped out on her own to create Rockbrook Entertainment, a one stop shop for connecting and growing various avenues and partnerships for artists, writers, and producers in Nashville.
