Brooke Josephson has evolved into a pop/rock singer-songwriter/producer currently based in Los Angeles, CA. 

In 2013, fresh out of Berklee College of Music where she earned her master’s in songwriting, Brooke Josephson went on a prolific writing spree and launched her independent recording career with Live and Let Live – an album produced by fellow alum John Mark Seltzer which showcased her wide array of talents as an impactful singer/songwriter. Over the past ten years, she’s come a long way not only as an artist, composer and producer, but also on a personal level as a devoted mother of two young children. Excited now to share the deeper artistry she’s cultivated, Brooke marks the special anniversary of her debut with a complete re-recording and re-imagining of its six engaging tracks.

Co-produced by Brooke and Chris Kahn, whose credits as an engineer and mixer include 5 Seconds of Summer, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Britney Spears and Selena Gomez, the revamp features more intimate versions of the songs that reflect her maturity and evolution as an artist -and whose vibe captures her current sensibilities in the wake of her critically acclaimed 2022 album Showin’ Up, Brooke’s first turn as a producer. Both projects were mixed by Grammy winning engineer Brendan Dekora (Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters, Neil Young, Michael Buble, Keith Urban). The new tracks were recorded in a four-hour session with drummer Jake Reed, bassist Sean Hurley and guitarists Chris Nordlinger and Grammy winner Andrew Synowiec.

There’s an compelling story behind “Good Kinda Tired,” the album’s infectious and witty, high-spirited lead single which, like the empowerment anthem “Rainbow” on Showin’ Up, was partially inspired by one of Brooke’s songwriting muses, the late Harry Chapin. In her 20s, when Brooke was a struggling performer in NYC, she worked multiple jobs in between auditions and gigs. While her first straight job offered her financial stability, she knew it pulled her away from her creative purpose. She went to bed exhausted after ensuring everyone’s needs were met, but felt she was losing herself in the process. Being a wife, mom and successful artist has its stresses, but even the challenging times in her current life make her a “Good Kinda Tired.”

The clever, playful video – directed by Michelle Bossy, who also lensed the popular clip for “Rainbow” – finds Brooke assuming the role of a 60’s housewife in a vintage nightgown and robe, hair in curlers, with laundry needing to be folded as she treats herself to a martini, “bauble” bath and a browse through The Feminist Mystique. These shots are intercut with black and white images of Brooke singing and playing guitar on TV. Towards the end of the video, her husband comes home from a long day at the office and the two end the day with blissful connection.

Born and raised in the small town of Warsaw, Indiana, Brooke’s earliest musical memories came from singing songs like “Jesus Loves Me” in church and at her Christian school. She learned to play piano on a $200 red mahogany upright and her mom found her a voice teacher at age 13 to cultivate her talents further. While raised in a religious home where secular music was not allowed, she has a fond memory at age eight of attending a friend’s birthday party where she heard Madonna’s “Material Girl” for the first time.

She chased her dream of becoming a singer and actress to New York where she started in theater and later worked on “All My Children,” “Bones,” Disney’s “Enchanted” (on whose set she met her now husband), NBC’s “Good Girls” and other shows before re-dedicating to her musical goals and enrolling at Berklee. Brooke’s eclectic discography includes Sexy N’ Domesticated, a sexy, sassy, new wave flavored 2018 EP

that earned her a Best Performer Award from American Tracks Music Awards and Best Video from Los Angeles CineFest, Western NY Film, Art, and Music Event (FAME), International Independent Film Awards and others.
