Brooke Fraser: An Inspiration for the Youth

There are many singers who like to sing certain praise and worship songs at a public platform but you never come across a singer like Brooke Fraser. She is known as a multi-faceted talent and it seems that God has His blessings on her. She is one of the most budding talents to be seen in the praise and worship music industry today. She is known for her great rendition of classic songs and the great quality of voice. She is a great hit amongst the youth in addition to the general followers of this genre i.e. the older generation. The younger audience likes her songs because they have a good use of a melodious tune blended with good percussions while the older audience appreciates her music because of her content. Praise and worship songs done by her have earned her great fame especially on an international platform.

She tasted success back in 2003 when she came with her great single "what to do with daylight?" in New Zealand. This single topped almost every chart in New Zealand and also launched her career as a great vocalist. As Brooke Fraser had been singing praise songs all her life she has a great control over the pitch of the voice.

Brooke Fraser started taking piano lessons at the age of seven. It has to be her sheer talent which has given her a great rise in her status as a singer. She came into the public eye when she sang at Parachute‚ an annual festival where she used to perform many praise songs on stage. Later on, she started writing her own lyrics and composing her own tunes. She also did an experimental music album Desert song which is known for many singles. At times when she performs those praise and worship songs you can almost feel the aura of divinity and that air of gratitude towards God. All the listeners are spellbound by her voice as she takes them to a different level of consciousness.

Brooke Fraser's praise songs have a touch of old Nigerian praise songs with all the high pitched notes along with an Arabic tinge. She carries this quality with her own popular song as well. She believes in god and believes that she can actually blend the divine touch and the popular musical notes which is something quite rare in the current music industry.
