Raised in San Jose, California, Conroe Brooks’ dreams always involved the arts. At the age of 18, he sang in the R&B group Special Generation (the brainchild of MC Hammer). And at the age of 21, he relocated to Los Angeles where his first audition landed him the role of Sam Cooke in “Little Richard,” whose director Robert Townsend said to him: “I hired you because you had the spark in your eye.” From there, Conroe went on working with the legendary director Garry Marshall in developing “Happy Days” the musical and ultimately landing roles in numerous TV shows such as 24, Son's of Anarchy, Ray Donovan and Jane the Virgin. Conroe is about to head out on a year long tour which is a secret at the moment.
