Biography

Brooke Valentine's career has been groomed by Déjà, a producer who placed the vocalist in a short-lived late-'90s group called Best Kept Secret. After the group fell through, the two relocated from Houston to Los Angeles with the intent to land a solo record deal. Within a couple years, Valentine secured a contract with Virgin, and her debut album -- Chain Letter, featuring production help from Lil Jon, Bloodshy, Heatmakerz, and the Soul Diggas -- was released in February of 2005. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

Brooke Valentine is an American R&B singer-songwriter. She started her musical career as a member of the female group Best Kept Secret.[1] To pursue a solo career, she moved to Los Angeles, California and signed to Subliminal Entertainment/Virgin Records.

She released her debut album Chain Letter in March 2005. It sold 340,000 copies in the United States.[2] The album features her hit debut single, "Girlfight" released late 2004, in a collaboration with rappers Big Boi and Lil Jon, a song about tension between two girls which ends up in a catfight.

The first single from her second album Physical Education was "D-Girl" ("Dope Girl"), which did not chart, along with a second single, "Pimped Out", in November 2006. The release of the album was canceled during the Capitol & Virgin Records merge in 2007, the future of the project is currently unknown, but this seems to be scrapped and unreleased due to work on her third studio album. Valentine has been in the studio working on her next album, due out in 2009.[citation needed]
