Holly Brook来自美国的Wisconsin，她6岁起就开始登台演出，15岁时已经和母亲一起录制了3张民谣独立唱片，并组建了自己的第一支Jazz乐队。 2003年她来到了Los Angeles寻求自己的音乐梦想，最终她出众的才华被著名的现代摇滚团体Linkin Park看中，将她签到了乐队自己的厂牌Machine Shop Recordings旗下。去年乐队成员Mike Shinoda发行了首张个人专辑"The Rising Tied"，其中便收录了一首与Holly Brook合作的歌曲"Where'd You Go"。今年这首歌曲在美国电台意外大热，Holly Brook这个优美的女声也开始得到了人们的关注。 初听Holly Brook很容易让人们联想到Dido，同样是凭藉着一首与rap艺人 eminem合作的歌曲而出名，她的声线和唱法也与Dido颇有几分相似。不过Holly Brook的音乐无论在旋律走势还是配乐上都更加偏向民谣风格。今年4月她发行了首张试水Digital EP，其中收录了包括"Curious"和"Saturday"在内的5首歌曲。在"Curious"这首歌曲中Holly Brook忧郁的嗓音游走在略显悲凉的钢琴伴奏之 上，吟唱出了她对未知答案的不断求索。而"Saturday"则是一首轻松欢快的民谣小调，简单的木吉他伴奏与Holly Brook婉转跳跃的演唱勾勒出了一幅幅颇具生活气息的画面。

Singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Holly Brook began singing at the age of two. Her first muses were folk and jazz, two sounds she found in perfect harmony upon discovering the music of Joni Mitchell. The budding songstress took the stage with her mother at the age of six and had her own band and two recordings under her belt by the time she was in high school. She continued to develop her sepia-toned piano pop throughout her teens, eventually moving to Los Angeles in 2003 where she met Grammy-winning producer -- and future co-writer and producer -- Jon Inglodsby. Her debut album for Machine Shop Records, Like Blood Like Honey, was released in 2006.
