Shamelessly stolen from somewhere off the web:
Carson Daly Prods, has signed talent/development deal with Brooke "Brookers" Brodack, who has made quite a name for herself on YouTube. We're sure you do, but just in case you don't know what YouTube is, it's a phenomenally popular Web site that holds videos watched at the rate of about 40m per day.
Brookers, as she's known as by tens of millions of YouTube viewers has been posting videos for about nine months, mostly featuring her doing pieces to camera, often miming to sound tracks.
The one that brought her to wide attention was her homage to Gary Brolsma's Numa Numa.
It's clear that Brookers has gone a number of steps beyond just plonking herself in front of her Web cam (as many homages do), they're more of a production, using changing camera angles and locations.
Of course it's not all about TV deals, realising the size of her audience, she's recently posted an entry asking for people to donate to her car fund. Very cheeky.
How many people will continue to be able to show their talent like this in the future isn't clear as various music industry voices have been talking about stopping 'their music' in personal videos. Strange - we thought it actually promoted the music.
If you havent already, check out Brookers News!
