Wellington, New Zealand (2002 – present)

Brooke Gabrielle Fraser (born 15 December 1983 in Wellington, New Zealand) is an award-winning New Zealand singer-songwriter. She is also one of the principal worship leaders of the Christian worship band Hillsong United and, more recently, Hillsong.

She studied piano from the age of seven, began writing songs at 12, played clarinet very averagely from 13, and at 15 got sick of writing slow piano ballads and playing “Baby Elephant Walk” in the school concert band, so taught herself the acoustic guitar.  She still has quiet aspirations of being a drummer in a hardcore band or a forensic anthropologist, or a really great knitter, but these remain pipe dreams for now.

Brooke was coerced into playing in public during her first year in high school, when the dean of the senior year wanted an assembly ‘item’ and one of Brooke’s so-called ‘friends’ dobbed her in.  This led to a semi-humiliating but character building bi-weekly ‘gig’ at the senior assembly.  Over the next few years as her songs stopped being about insects, her ‘gigs’ became music festivals, support shows and fundraisers for a charity that she remains committed to and passionate about today - World Vision.

After the success of her first album, Fraser moved to Sydney, where she has lived for four years. She commutes to the U.S. for touring. Fraser attends Hillsong Church; she is a worship leader and collaborator on the Hillsong United series of worship albums. She is a Christian, and much of her lyrical content indicates this, as well as her continued participation in Christian and church events.
