Check Out Brooklyn Summer Country’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brooklyn Summer Country

Brooklyn, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I met a vocal coach in kindergarten when I was five and a half years old. I had no idea she was the vocal coach for American Idol. She was supposed to help me with the kindergarten talent show only. I only knew how to sing harmony like a backup singer when I started singing. I hear harmony well. She immediately started putting me in huge talent shows, and I would always win first place or grand champion in my age group. The summer I was going into first grade, I started opening three shows a day at the county fair, singing at my local hospice facility, and lots of art and wine festivals. I started recording music on Music Row on my ninth birthday and had my first forty-five-minute set downtown Nashville by Ten. For my Twelfth birthday, we moved to Nashville. The night I arrived, I started playing live music rounds, writing music with co-writers, and playing small one-hour gigs in town. When I was thirteen, my gigs were two hours, and at age fourteen, I now play up to three-hour sets, open for small acts in town, and headline my own shows. I’m working on my first EP, writing new music, practicing with a great band, and planning my future while trying to keep a 4.0 in high school. It’s a lot, but it’s so much fun at the same time.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
My struggle has been being the youngest at school or in Music City. I’m an old soul and like to hang out with adults. But they don’t all allow me to write older like I want. In the end, I think my struggles are paying off. Starting younger means I’ll get out of high school on my sixteenth birthday, hopefully get to be on the road, and focus on my career solely for a year before figuring out college. Right now, I struggle with wanting that forever producer who feels like we are in it to win it together. I feel like so many producers are more about making money than taking time to get things perfect. I’m a perfectionist. I don’t like my music being rushed. I guess you can say I’m still finding my sound with what seems to be a constant change in my voice because I’m still maturing. Acne was a considerable challenge for me as I am young in this industry. For about six months, I didn’t even want to leave my house. Putting on makeup and being under hot lights and humidity was a struggle. I pretty much conquered that, though. But it wasn’t very comfortable.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Well, my work is my everyday life. I guess I’m working to see if my passion will be enough to support me financially when I grow up. I think the hard part is that I have to consistently maintain excellent grades to get into a terrific college in case my dream doesn’t pan out. I’m known as the youngest artist here in Music City, chasing the same dream as kids four times my age. What sets me apart is that I’m not scared to hustle, work hard, or sit alone at the table. Though I’m young, I’m most proud of the meetings I’m now taking and feeling respected.

We’d love to hear about how you think about risk taking?
I’m risky buisness haha. I’ve always been true to myself. My most significant risk was a song I should have put out when I was seventeen. I put it out when people said not to. I’m still glad I did. I’m not too fond of bubblegum little kid music. If I can’t write older I won’t record it. I don’t think like a kid, but I look like one. On the radio, people don’t know how old I am, so the song sounds excellent. Only the people in town who know me think, “Brooklyn, that’s a little too old for you.” I’d do it again.
