About Jake Brookman

Jake Brookman started playing the cello when he was 9 years old and quickly cultivated his passion for making music. In addition to school orchestras, Jake played with the CASA Young People's Orchestra and the Saint Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra serving as Principal Cellist for both ensembles. While still in high school he won solo performance opportunities from competing in the young artist concerto competitions of the CASA Young People's Orchestra, Alton Symphony Orchestra and the Brentwood Symphony Orchestra. Jake then went on to study music performance at the Mannes College of Music in New York City, NY with a scholarship.

In late 1992 shortly after his return to Saint Louis, MO he performed with The Suede Chain (a rock band based in Champaign, IL) which would be the first of many bands that Jake has collaborated with throughout the years.In late 1992 shortly after his return to Saint Louis, MO he performed with The Suede Chain (a rock band based in Champaign, IL) which would be the first of many bands that Jake has collaborated with throughout the years.
