 As a performer, Amber Brooke already has an impressive resume
that includes appearances in movies, television, voice-overs and theatre.
Now she has set her sights on the music business. One of her first songs,
"Michelle's Song" shows the true depth of Amber's talent. After the death of
her best friend's father, Amber takes an introspective look at the emotional
turmoil people go through with the death of a close loved one, and explores
the questions one must answer to begin the healing process. The background
vocals are all friends of Michelle and she voices the closing line. The song
won the MakeAStar.com contest and is currently on their first compilation
CD. Impressive considering Amber is only 15!
Wanting to get the attention of record labels, Amber decided she wanted a
young band close to her age. After entering her songs in a local festival
and being chosen to perform, Amber quickly went out and auditioned for her
backup band. She came up with some great young talent. They spent 5 weeks
rehearsing for the MOVA Arts Festival where they managed to snag the hearts
of many, as well as first place for her song "So Small".
Amber and her band have played in venues from California to Connecticut to
Florida to rave revues. Their CD "Don't Label" has won numerous
awards. Amber Brooke was voted Creative Loafing Reader's Choice Best
Local Vocalist for 2005!!! They are currently in the studio working on
their next CD!!!
