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 then, on her music teacher’s suggestion, took up vocals for her Advanced Higher in Music. The latter proved to be a sound decision and has helped put the 21-year-old artist on the path to stardom after her cover of Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, landed her a deal with Island Records.
