Born on December 15, 1983, in New Zealand, contemporary Christian singer-songwriter and record producer Brooke Gabrielle Ligertwood (formerly Fraser) comes from a family with a strong sporting background. Her father is Bernard Gabriel Fraser, a former New Zealand rugby union player. However, music became Brooke’s passion. By the age of twelve, she was already taking piano lessons and composing her own songs. This early exposure to music laid the foundation for her successful career.
