A sixteen-year-old Brookes began to write and perform while training as a gilder in his late father’s workshop. Brookes had begun to receive serious critical recognition when he self-released album, Kairos, being acclaimed by The Independent as one of the stand-out records of 2014 and tipped for the mercury nomination. The past couple of years has seen Brookes collaborate with artist & producer Pete Josef releasing music as Supalung. Brookes is currently recording a new solo material with a releases set for early 2025.
