From the early age of seven, country artist GlenBrooke has known music was her life’s direction. With her first songs written when she was around ten years old and a home-life steeped in music, an early passion and drive was born. The Michigan-native recorded her first album in 2013 after joining HMG Nashville and completing a radio tour for her single “Nothing’s Stopping Me”. While pursuing her music career and artist dream, GlenBrooke has fully embraced life as she’s integrated an adventure in motherhood along with her artistry. Drawing inspiration from icons like Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Barenaked Ladies, Serena Ryder, ZZ Ward and Miranda Lambert, GlenBrooke is focused on revamping and making new music for her fanbase. Looking into the future, she’s excited to release the projects she’s been working on and to share with GlenBrooke fans around the world!
