"There's a lot of politicking, things you gotta go through. So have patience, be dedicated, know that talk is cheap, don't be out there running your mouth if you can't back it up -- I'm all about truth and action."
-Brooke Valentine
| Date of Birth: 1985 |
| Birthplace: Houston, Texas |

| With the club banger "Girlfight," Brooke Valentine found instant appeal from coast to coast. The hip-hop and R&B freshman burst onto the scene with this track, which featured Lil Jon and Big Boi of OutKast, then added fuel to the fire by following it up with a hot video. Her debut album, Chain Letter, was released in March of 2005 to warm reviews. As long as the music videos keep Brooke in scandalous clothing, we'll be quite happy. |

| Gentlemen, take note; there's a new hip-hop hottie on the scene. In the same mold as Christina Milian, Ashanti and Ciara (all bootylicious hotties with the talent to back it up) is Brooke Valentine, a woman whose music and sexy looks made us all take notice of her sudden debut. Now Valentine's Day can come every day of the year... |

Born in Houston, Texas, in 1985, Brooke Valentine was displaying her vocal talents from the time she was able to speak. The eldest of three children, Brooke would sing along with the radio as an infant, and then, once in elementary school, she would wow her classmates and teachers by singing in the schoolyard.
Though she was willing to hone her vocal gift, Brooke was shy as a child, and it took some prodding for her to practice in front of an audience. To encourage her, Brooke's grandmother would sign her up for solo performances at church every Sunday. Thrust into the role of soloist in front of the entire congregation, Brooke would always shine.
Brooke began to dream of making a career out of singing, and as a young teen, that dream became a possible reality. While strolling through a mall with a friend, Brooke struck up a conversation with an enterprising young man named Deja, who happened to be an aspiring music producer. Brooke showed off her singing abilities to her new friend and soon, Deja went to work helping her further develop them.
When Brooke was 14, Deja introduced her to two other young singers, and together they formed the group BKS (Best Kept Secret). Traveling from state to state, the young R&B group did a number of small gigs, but parted ways before anything of real significance developed.
Not dissuaded by her experience with BKS, Brooke kept at it, visiting the studio almost as much as she attended her school classes. In fact, music became an all-consuming passion for Brooke, an obsession that angered her mother, who had raised her child alone since birth. The issue of Brooke's time in the studio became such a point of contention that Mama Valentine eventually kicked her out of the house. |
