Kids Issue Double cover with willow and Jaden Smith

"I want everyone that is being bullied
to know they are not alone. I want them
to know they are loved, they are strong
and that they are worthy of whatever
dream they have. Until I went through
it, I had no idea how bad bullying really
was. I am not happy that I was bullied,
but I know that I can use my experience
to not just help others but hopefully
prevent others from being bullied in the
first place."
Determined not to dwell on the pains of
the past, the enthusiasm in Brooke's
voice returns as the conversation shifts
to her life now and her new EP. In
addition to touring, writing and

Gaining over 2 million plays on
Soundcloud in over a month, Brooke's
music is receiving great feedback from
her fans and music bloggers around the
country. With over 124k Twitter followers
and 13k followers on Instagram, it's hard
for Brooke's talent to go unnoticed. The
new EP is the story of Brooke's life. More
specifically it's lyrics tell the tale of the
summer of youth. All the songs reflect
either something that has happened in
her summer of "16" or things she felt in
that moment. Whether it's an upbeat
dance track or emotional ballad Brooke's
EP has something for everyone; old,
young and in between.
With her rising fame, Brooke has
managed to stay grounded by staying
true to her faith and being appreciative
for the blessings she has received with
her music.
My family and my team are good for
keeping me in check. I expect them to
hold me accountable, to be the best I
can be every day. Whether good or bad,
whether I am feeling sad or happy I
want to keep things real. I want to
always be real with my music. I want
people to always see the real me so
they can relate to my music. I love my
music and what I am doing. Recently I
was at a youth event for the ?Stop Block
Tell? campaign. We were visiting a
school when I was asked to perform my
song Cruel. I looked out at my audience
and noticed some girls singing along. I
could not believe that they knew the
words to my song. I felt like I was
making an impact. That was when I
realized that this was what I should be
doing with the rest of my life. I want
every teen, especially young girls, to
know how valuable they are. I want
them to know that they can fight
insecurity and that they don?t have to
believe the things that every other
involved in her church and even makes
time to teach yoga on the beach. It is
clear that Brooke has turned a corner.
Her new EP "The Brook Hummel EP" is a
large source of the joy that has returned
to her life. The featured new single
"Cruel" was written by Brooke along with
writer/producer D-Major to bring
awareness to the emotional problems
many teens face as a result of bullying
and people are beginning to take notice.
It's emotional lyrics and poignant video
add to the strength of her voice and the
message she wants relayed to the world;
that everyone deserves to be loved and
that no one deserves to be bullied.
I want ever yone t hat is

people say about them. I want to use
my music to help others learn to love
themselves.?
