Brooke Stoddard
New York
A classical violinist for ten years, electronic music producer Brooke Stoddard started writing music during a recent family vacation. Brooke’s musical progression began at age nine in an elementary school orchestra program. Trained as a violinist, Brooke became concertmaster of several orchestras, toured Portugal, Austria, and the Czech Republic, and performed at the Kennedy Center with the American Youth Philharmonic. After attending a David Guetta concert in 2014, Brooke started producing electronic music and experimenting with synths, melodies, and chord structure. His compositions are influenced by his orchestral upbringing. Grateful for his musical beginnings, Brooke volunteers with the Harmony Program, a non-profit that provides after-school music education to children in New York City.
