THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Like the devil's temptation in one ear and an angel's whisper in the other, Brooke "BK" Archilla unites the dark grittiness of hip-hop with the sultry side of neo-soul to create a harmonious blend to call her own. Pulling from her own life experiences, BK's song writing creates stories that ride a rhythm full of catchy hooks and soulful lyricism. Whether belting her heart out with pure honesty dripping from every lyric or laying down a flow that wraps around your thoughts with articulate twists, BK represents a strength and empowerment that digs up a soft spot in an otherwise male dominant genre.



"Never in a cubicle in my dreams, just me in the musical ring, ready for anything."
Currently residing in the city of Los Angeles, where music seems to inhabit every street corner, BK lives to breathe the one thing that fuels her soul. Embodying an engaging style that is built upon her captivating uniqueness and realism, her ability to pull human emotions from deep beyond the surface shines though her word play. But don't let her seriousness fool you. Being a fan of cutting up the dance floor herself, she finds an outlet to release her animated personality though songs that make it nearly impossible to be labeled the wallflower in any club.
"Music has found me in many moments in my life and in many ways. Almost all of my memories are flooded with hook lines, melodies, grooves, and instances where music was part of that moment, that memory"
BK finds a rhythm to the performing artist madness by channeling her life through songwriting, whether it is for her own album or for someone else to color their own. While searching for ways to be heard, she created the One Minute Spit, a 60 second YouTube video posted to her channel weekly. This raw showcase of all things BK, her sad, her angry, her love, her fear, and the crazy kid inside she isn't afraid to hide grabbed the attention of Phivestarr Productions, a hot production duo out of Atlanta. The rest is history. Her album, Let My Music Speak, is set to release early 2012 with her first single and video featuring southern boys, Nappy Roots. You can also find her collaborating with Tommy Hubbard and Riche Zahniser at A to Z Records or writing songs for young budding artists.



"Remember to never fear what you can't change. You are who you are. And who you are is beautiful."
The key to letting herself shine as an artist lies in staying true to herself, allowing the music carry her to territories sometimes unknown, yet filled with the beauty that allows her soul to sing. Using that light to help illuminate the talent in others BK introduced Hip Hop back into the curriculum at the Musicians Institute by teaching a rap vocal performance class. Not only a teacher, but a mentor to students sharing the same passion, she gave them the opportunity to interpret songs as their own and perform them live, unrehearsed and backed by a full band, preparing them for the world she herself continues to learn from.



As an intricate artist in the musically saturated world, there is more to BK to be heard than words can fully explain. So let's stop the reading and move on to listening. Be on the look out for her new album, Let My Music Speak set to drop in early 2012. For now, take a peek at the new single and video, Hardest Part, featuring Nappy Roots @ www.bksway.com
