Brooke Ramel is one of the most successful independent artists of the last 20 years. She has sold over 50,000 CDs, placed 50+ songs in tv/film, performed thousands of live shows, and produced 6 original albums, including Turn It Around, co-written and produced by renowned hitmaker Mike Busbee.
In addition to performing solo and headlining with her own band, Brooke has opened for many legendary artists and some of her greatest inspirations as well as hall of fame artists, such as Air Supply, Peter Cetera, Petula Clark, Melissa Manchester, Chris Botti, Little River Band, Don MacLea, Shawn Colvin, Marc Cohn, Raul Malo, Colin Hay, David Wilcox, Lisa Loeb, Nancy Griffith, David Gates, Bill Medley, Deana Carter, and countless others. . In 2006, Brooke sang background vocals for Ziggy Marley's album, "Love Is My Religion". That year, she was also a featured performer on an episode of the PBS series, "Branson Jubilee", which aired nationwide.
Brooke’s career grew from the grassroots of the Midwest. After picking up the guitar at the age of 7, she was soon playing “gigs” at local churches and fairs. By age 9, she had already appeared on television and done a one-hour live radio show. A singer/songwriter had blossomed and never wavered from her musical path; from performing with high school theatre troupes and musical choirs to studying at Stanford University to living in Paris and eventually landing in Los Angeles where she has made her living as a professional musician ever since.
Reemerging after a hiatus to be a wife and mother, Brooke teamed up with Grammy Award-winning producer and Windham Hill Records founder Will Ackerman and world-class musicians to record her first album since 2004. Joining Brooke on the album are bassist Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, James Taylor, John Lennon), guitarist Jeff Pevar (Crosby Stills & Nash, Marc Cohn, Ray Charles), drummer Aaron Sterling (John Mayer), 3-time Grammy Award-winning cellist Eugene Friesen, and The Webb Sisters on background vocals (Leonard Cohen, Sting).
Newly gained perspectives are reflected in Brooke’s strongest, most honest, and acoustic recording to date. For You features ten original songs, half-written with renowned songwriter Ken Hirsch (“Two Less Lonely People in the World,” “Never Been to Me,” “No One in the World,” “If I Could”). Brooke and Ken recently performed together at the beautiful Saban Theater in Beverly Hills, performing a combination of Ken’s hits, their co-written original songs, and beloved cover tunes that are audience favorites.
