With a career spanning four continents, out musician Katey Brooks continues her journey from intimate living rooms to dive bars to opulent concert halls to your digital catalogue with her single, "All of Me."

Considering her back-catalogue incorporates soul, folk, blues and country, Brooks is difficult to categorize in terms of genre. Words like "organic" and "honest"come to mind as her music details her romantic turbulence and the struggle to come to terms with her sexuality.

Growing up in a cult, Brooks found refuge in music.

"It was a very chaotic upbringing, full of some pretty colourful and sometimes unsavoury, characters," she shares. "But when I sang, I felt free and connected. For as long as I can remember, it’s been my way of getting what I need to say out."

"All of Me" narrates calling someone out on their ambivalence.

"It was inspired by a personal situation with someone I was prepared to give my world to," reveals the artist. "They proclaimed deep love, but then proceeded to behave in ways that were completely incongruent with that proclamation."

Brooks has garnered acclaim from the likes of Billboard, Pride, The Advocate, Gay Times, After Ellen and Earmilk to name a few.
