Born in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Brooks found an early love for film and the music within the screen. He went on to pursue his interests in film, creating projects behind the camera and score. He performed in grade school Orchestras for eight years before competing in All-County and All-State Orchestras. In undergrad, he began writing soundtracks for he and his friends' short films... And ever since building his professional portfolio as a composer for film and media.
