Kessia Brooke has always been compelled to connect and relate through music.

“When I was a kid, I was always inventing little songs, and singing them to whoever I dared. Being rather shy, I’d tend to pick inanimate objects over a live audience.

I distinctly remember collecting all the spare change I could scrummage from around the house, setting each coin at the pedals of the piano (Lizzie facing up of course) and performing an ad-lib serenade to my new companions.

As I got older I used songwriting to process all the complicated emotions that are packaged with coming of age and being disillusioned by the world and the people around you. Music has this incredible ability to allow you to express vulnerability and anger you would never feel safe simply speaking about.

I never really stopped writing those little ditties, and eventually enabled myself to begin sharing them in hopes I could connect with others through these common experiences.

Like so many, I always have and always will need music. I hope to continue sharing memories, creating moments, and using it to connect with people for the rest of my life.”
