Brook Fox, a Level 6 Creative Music Technology student at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD), has reached a major milestone in his music career as his latest single, When You Fall, is added to the BBC Radio Wales A-List.
Brook, a singer-songwriter from Burry Port, first discovered his passion for songwriting during the Covid pandemic. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Sam Fender and Gerry Cinnamon, he developed a distinctive sound that blends indie pop/rock with raw, down-to-earth lyricism.
His debut single Time garnered critical acclaim, amassing over 30,000 streams across 139 countries and leading to features on BBC Introducing and other major media platforms.
Brook said: “Being on the A-list was a massive goal of mine, and to achieve it with this track has been so special to me. As a songwriter, it’s been great to have my track broadcast to millions across the week.”
When You Fall is available on all major streaming platforms and will feature on BBC Radio Wales throughout the week on the following shows:
- Monday – Wynne Evans (9 AM – 12 PM)
- Tuesday – The Phone In with Jason Mohammad (12 PM – 2 PM)
- Wednesday – Behnaz Akhgar (2 PM – 5 PM)
- Thursday – Wynne Evans (9 AM – 12 PM)
- Friday – Eleri Sion (2 PM – 5 PM)
Beyond his achievements as an artist, Brook has used his academic studies to explore the evolving landscape of music marketing. As part of his Level 6 Creative Music Technology research, he critically evaluated traditional versus modern artist development strategies, focusing on the impact of digital tools such as SEO, social media marketing, and advertising.
“Exploring the development of music artists in the digital age allowed me to gain first-hand experience in navigating an oversaturated market,” said Brook. “At first, it seemed daunting, but by utilising short-form content and meta-ads, I was able to make meaningful progress.”
His studies have given him a deep understanding of audience psychology and independent music marketing, demonstrating that artists can build momentum without external funding.
Brook’s career continues to gain momentum, having recently supported renowned Welsh songwriters Maldwyn Pope and Steve Balsamo.
