Chris Brooks understands the challenges of building a music career because he has spent more than two decades doing exactly that.

After moving to the other side of the world where they knew no one, Chris and his brothers started at the absolute bottom—playing Tuesday-night shows in some of the roughest parts of town. From there, they built Like A Storm from the ground up, recorded their first album in Los Angeles and developed an international career spanning more than twenty years.

As the lead singer, songwriter and frontman of Like A Storm, Chris has:

• Earned more than 165 million streams
• Achieved seven Top 40 singles on the US Active Rock chart
• Performed in 23 countries
• Toured with Creed, Shinedown, Alter Bridge, Godsmack, Gojira, Staind, Sevendust, Slash, Three Days Grace and many more
• Collaborated with artists including Marty Friedman (solo artist and formerly of Megadeth) and Kellin Quinn (Sleeping With Sirens).

Throughout his career, Chris has worked across nearly every area of an artist’s journey—writing songs, producing records, developing live shows, directing artwork, designing merchandise, shaping branding and making the strategic decisions required to move a career forward.

He also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Auckland, giving him an additional perspective on identity, culture, audiences and the ways artists connect with people.

Chris created ResoNATION to give artists access to that complete perspective. He works both strategically and creatively, helping artists develop stronger music, clearer identities, more compelling projects and a path forward that reflects who they are and where they want to go.

That experience also revealed that building a lasting career requires more than talent alone. Artists need to develop both the creative foundations that move them forward and the personal, financial and professional foundations that allow them to continue.

These lessons became the basis of ResoNATION’s two core frameworks: The Five Frequencies of Artist Evolution and The Five Frequencies of Artist Longevity.
