Brooke Lee stopped by the MusicRow office last week to share a taste of her recently released EP, Desert Darling.

The Charlotte, North Carolina native was first introduced to music through her church. At 13, Lee attended a performance by the local band Blue Monday with her father and was instantly captivated. Inspired by the experience, she began performing at local showcases and open mic nights.

At 21, Lee moved to Music City and started playing Broadway six nights a week. While balancing her performance schedule with a retail job, she caught the attention of Spirit Music Publishing and signed a publishing deal.

Lee shared a few tracks from the project with the team including “Desert Darling,” “Burn To Black,” “This Roof” and “So Beautiful.”

The six-track project was written alongside Justin Richards, Jon Nite and Aaron Eshuis, among others, and produced by Danielle Blakey. It explores themes of young love, heartbreak and self-discovery.

Lee has amassed more than 6 million career streams and 120 thousand social media followers across platforms. Earlier this year, Lee partnered with Chevrolet to release a modern interpretation of the song “See the USA in Your Chevrolet” for their newest advertising campaign.

Lee is set to perform on the Wrangler Remix Stage during CMA Fest.
