Joe Brooks is a singer/songwriter from Southampton, UK.
He is an artist who gathered his initial following from Myspace after being inspired to learn the guitar at age 16. His page receives some of the highest amounts of hits on Myspace, with his single 'Superman' outplaying bands such as Oasis.
Now 23, Joe Brooks has just released his debut album 'Constellation Me' this September.
I found it hard to categorise him as I would say if you like acoustic, you'll definitely like him and if you like indie, you probably like him as he would be in the more indie-alternative-acoustic category (if that's even a category).
His music speaks for itself though. It's easy going, lighthearted music that reminds me of the summer, perfect for lazy days, his voice neither too weak or too overwhelming.
Personal favourites would include 'Superman','Hello Mr. Sun' and 'Five Days of Summer'.
Having spent the past year or so on tour in the US and completing his album in L.A., he is back in the UK for his home tour this winter. So if you like the sound of him, it might be worth grabbing yourself a ticket...I know I'll be trying.
