Early life

Brooke Simpson was born to an Evangelical family, which caused her to first find her love of singing at age 7. She grew up traveling and singing with them, as well as attending pow wows hosted by the Haliwa-Saponi tribe, of which she is a member.[2] Before The Voice, she moved from her hometown of Hollister, North Carolina to Fort Lauderdale, Florida with her husband, Ray Simpson, and considered other careers instead of singing.[3][4] Her parents are Jimille and Mike Mills,[5] and she has two siblings who are eight years younger than her, sister Leah and brother Mikey.[6]

Brooke Simpson met her vocal coach Andrez Franco in 2013.
