After growing up in the South with parents who fought for Civil Rights and the Equal Rights Amendment, Brooksie moved to New York City in the 1970s, where the thriving folk music scene heavily influenced her music. Bobby Darin discovered Brooksie at the age of 19, and Brooksie wrote for years for Chappell Music, with several of her songs used in recordings and movie soundtracks. She later recorded with John Lennon's band Elephant's Memory and as a singer with Kid Creole and the Coconuts.
Often called a "Queen of Second Chances," Brooksie inspires women across the country by telling her story through music.
