Growing up in Midlothian, Brooke Combe was raised on a diet of Motown and Whitney Houston and started playing trombone at primary school. In her teens she went on to learn another five instruments, and on her music teacher’s suggestion, then took up vocals for her advanced higher.
The latter proved to be sound advice and has helped put the 21-one-year-old artist on the path to stardom after her cover of Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, landed her a deal with Island Records last year.
In August, her first ever show sold out King Tut’s and support slots for indie giants The Courteeners and The Snuts followed. Meanwhile, Combe has been working in Liverpool’s Parr Street Studios with The Coral’s James Skelly on production duties.
Her new single, Miss Me Now, is evidence of her song-writing prowess with a hooky bassline and a singalong vocal making it equally suitable for both dancefloors and radio. A string of festivals are already confirmed, including Kendal Calling, TRNSMT and Truck Fest, while most of May she tours the UK combining supports for Miles Kane with her own headline shows.
