About a year ago she borrowed a ukulele from a family friend, enjoyed playing it and then bought her own.
Since then, the 15-year-old has taught herself to play and been in demand at school assemblies and other events.
She recently performed in Scarborough.
Apart from a huge response from family, friends and the public, after uploading her video clip to Facebook two music producing companies contacted her and are keen to work with her in developing a demo tape.
Brooke will perform at weekly Discovery Nights at venues across Perth for the next couple of months.
Brooke got through to the first round of The Voice in Perth a couple of years ago.
She also plays netball for the Silverettes, works part-time at a local eatery, studies, runs blog BBmusic on Facebook and would like to learn the piano and guitar.
“It also helps when you have great parents,’’ the busy teenager said.
