His last song, Superman, has had more plays than Oasis' last single. Brooks constantly is the number one artist on Myspace music. Currently, his songs receive up to 30,000 plays a day. As Brooks added more diverse and complex songs, the more "friends" and plays he got. When Brooks first posted his music on Myspace the social networking site was just beginning. He also released a self publish CD titled "m a y b e t o m o r r o w." It was during this time that he wrote and recorded his most played song, Superman. After graduation Brooks attended the University of Bath to study Sport before dropping out to work on his music. He attended Mountbatten Secondary School and Barton Peveril College. Brooks went home and taught himself to play guitar and began posting songs on Myspace. Brooks is signed to Lava Records, and has received media coverage based on his topping the UK Myspace charts.Īfter hearing Derrin Nauendorf perform at the The Brook in Southampton at age 16. If you get the chance, definitely check him out.Joe Brooks, born May 18, 1987, is a British singer-songwriter, born and raised in Southampton, United Kingdom. He deserves more attention than he receives. It’s hard to find him live, especially in the UK, but it’s well worth the effort. His simple performance, just him, his guitar and a small supporting band don’t dazzle, but let you enjoy the loving atmosphere, his astounding vocals and his great lyrics. He interacts brilliantly with the audience, leaving them smiling, singing, dancing, and feeling blissful. His singing live is just as perfect as it is recorded, and he played the guitar with finesse you only find with someone who clearly knows what they’re doing. ‘Superman’ and his other classics are mostly just him and his guitar, and I was so scared that this talented would be mostly fabricated in a recording studio, like you often find.
His music is usually simple, with clear, soft vocals capturing the attention of the listener, rather than any elaborate music. It was around the release of that album that I finally managed to see him live. It’s perhaps one of his most well-known songs to date, and with good reason. A singer with a soft voice and great lyrics reminiscent of singers like Ed Sheeran, he originally posted his music on Myspace until he eventually got signed to a record label and released his first full album in 2009, Constellation Me, the lead single from which, ‘Superman’, was a popular record from his Myspace days, and continued to prove popular once released. Joe Brooks is one of those people who are both annoyingly cute and annoyingly talented.
