Bio

In only a few short years, Mandy Brooke has risen as an electrifying performer, poignant songwriter, and skilled artist. Throughout her career, reviews have commented on Mandy’s talents, saying; “Her style and composure is unique for someone her age,” and “Her golden voice and guitar skills will not only catch you by surprise but captivate you.”In addition to her regularly scheduled shows in Florida and up the east coast, she has been featured on local radio and has opened for country artists such as: Tracy Lawrence, Uncle Kracker, Gloriana, and Chuck Wicks.
Since the age of fourteen, Mandy has played in over 400 venues and festivals, with performance numbers well into the thousands. Impressive to say the least, and just like a well-seasoned performer, she says the stage is like her second home.

Performing is only one of Mandy Brooke’s strong suits. Songwriting is a large part of who she is as well.

In life, people are so accustom to hide who they are.” Mandy expresses, “In songwriting, that’s pretty much impossible. It’s almost as if you’re peeling back the pieces of yourself to find what’s truly there.”

Mandy Brooke is definitely not hiding who she is in her catchy tune, “Chaotic”. The cute and quirky lyrics to this addictive song shows Mandy’s charming personality. “It’s the anthem for the disorganized.” She begins with a laugh, “For the frantic people trying to be on time for work. And for the people on a never ending search for their car keys and cell phone.” With a smirk, Mandy continues, “Yeah, I’m right there with ya.”

“Perfectly Incomplete” is yet another one of Mandy’s intoxicating songs. Written with Rich Alves, the tune tries to unravel the age old question, “Do you feel the way I feel?”. Her unique writing style is portrayed with lyrics like; “The words that make sense that I need to speak, are tangled in the hold you have on me.” Her originality and wittiness shines through.

Mandy Brooke’s songs are definitely honest and heart felt as well. This is made evident with ballads like, “Life To Me”, A coming-of-age story about lessons learned, and through those lessons, finding what it truly means to live. She says “Life To Me” is a true story. And with the passion she conveys when performing the song, the truth of her words is undeniable.

Mandy’s songwriting and talent also struck a chord with ASCAP Award Winner and two-time Grammy Nominee, Bill Rice. Rice became Mandy’s manager and publisher in 2009. Since signing on with Bill Rice, Mandy has co-written with acclaimed songwriters, and has recorded with musicians such as Rob McNelley, Steven Sheehan, and Tommy Harden.

Her maturity on stage and off is of a well-accomplished performer but still, she remains humble, with a beautiful charm and honesty that resinates through a growing fan base. One thing is definite: there are many more years of music to come out of this exciting new artist.

Her world is yet to be discovered.

Mandy Brooke continues to perform at various venues around Florida.
