Hailing from Dallas, Brayla Cook, known as “brays.anatomy” on social media, is fast making her place in the industry with her rhythmic harmonies, infusing the genres of R&B, gospel and hip-hop to create a unique sound. Cook is a graduate of Berklee College of Music, where she received her BA in Songwriting in 2021. During that time, she ventured into many activities that jump-started her career as a performer. She was a member of Berklee’s renowned a cappella group Pitch Slapped, where she led their viral performance of Beyoncé’s Deja Vu in 2018. 

Now at the age of 24, Cook continues making her mark in the industry, opening for artists like Kenyon Dixon and Avery Wilson as a vocalist in the up-and-coming artist collective known as Treway & the Now Generation. Some of her most notable accomplishments to date include her feature on Donald Lawrence’s latest project, Donald Lawrence Presents Power: A Tribute to Twinkie Clark in 2023, and a live performance with Jon Batiste on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to her additional vocals on Worship from Jon Batiste’s Grammy-nominated album World Music Radio. The key to her sound is the orchestration of background vocals that lie within the stories her lyrics tell. “I aim to be limitless in my music. Every time I release something I want to explore the depths of my ability to create something that knows no bounds. Any melody, any lyric…. I mean anything is possible,” explains Cook. 

She has now dropped two EPs, books a slew of live shows, and continues to build her online presence through her socials. As she pushes forward in her pursuits, she aspires to continue to be a student of music throughout her career. Her hope is to inspire many more like her to always enjoy the freedom of self-expression that music can be.
