Artist History Born in rural Virginia, the 22 year old singer-songwriter began playing guitar and composing emotionally driven lyrics during the early 1990s. Driven by his unexplainable view of the world, J.Brooks soon noticed that he posessed the ability to capture an audience, while maturing and developing into the incredible songwriter he is credited as being today. Following a three year journey as front man for the Unstrung Heroes, with the 2000 release of "Moonwalking Around The World," J.Brooks set out for his first solo career. The result was astounding as night after night J.Brooks continues to receive great reviews and the public is anxiously awaiting the Summer 2003 release of his already critically acclaimed debut solo album, "corner of sixth and virginia."
