Artist Description | Brooke Fraser
Brooke Fraser is a New Zealand born and bred singer-songwriter. Having spent four years living in Australia, Brooke is now setting up home in Los Angeles, CA, as she prepares for the North American release of her album Albertine. A summer of touring with her U.S. band, comprising of Ben West on drums and Beth Balmer on keyboards and viola, will follow.
Brooke’s debut album What To Do With Daylight also sold over seven times platinum in New Zealand as it sailed past 100,000 copies and broke all radio airplay records with four consecutive airplay number ones. She remained on the album charts for a record 66 weeks. All five singles from the album reached the top 20 RIANZ (Recording Industry Association of New Zealand) charts, the official singles chart of New Zealand. The album was the second best-selling album in New Zealand for 2004 and garnered Brooke Best Female Solo Artist and Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the 2004 NZ Music Awards.
Albertine was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Marshall Altman and a crew of brilliant musicians from the L.A. scene. Albertine has sold over five-times platinum in New Zealand and won accolades including two NZ Music Awards and the APRA Silver Scroll Songwriting Prize. The singles “Deciphering Me” and “Shadowfeet” both reached #1 on the airplay charts. After spending the past 12 months performing sell-out theatre tours of New Zealand and Australia, Brooke is now ready to show North America what she’s got.
This past March, Fraser married fellow Hillsong United member Scott Ligertwood.
