Artist Statement

This is a fusion of music, film, and spirituality, weaving together influences from iconic sounds and cinematic landscapes. Inspired by the timeless rhythms of Prince, Wham, Michael Jackson, and Earth, Wind & Fire, as well as the imaginative realms of “The Matrix” and “The Never Ending Story,” my work transcends boundaries to evoke emotion and exploration.

The work is rooted in the interconnectedness of human experience, my song and art invites viewers to delve inward, connecting with the sacred essence of Mother Earth / Mother Gaia.

Using innovative techniques and collaborative processes, I craft immersive experiences that resonate with audiences, guiding them on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. From the vibrant streets of Manchester to the heart, body and soul of the planet, my work reflects the power of creativity to transcend barriers and foster unity.

As I embark on this artistic odyssey, my goal is clear: to spark transformation and offer a path to inner peace and collective harmony. Through music, film, and storytelling, I strive to inspire hope and connection in a world yearning for healing.

Brokli’s “Mother Gaia” music video stands as a milestone work, filmed in Cheadle, Cheshire and edited by Brokli himself. Influenced by musical legends such as Michael Jackson, and Earth, Wind & Fire, as well as cinematic classics like “The Matrix” and “The Never Ending Story,” this visually captivating piece tells a story about the state of the world today, and how to find the light with love for Mother Gaia.

Innovative AI storyboarding fuelled the creative process, leading to a rich tapestry of imagery, storytelling and symbolism. Choreography, a vital element of the video, was meticulously crafted in Manchester, infusing each frame with dynamic energy and emotion.

At its core, “Mother Gaia” is a statement of unity and inner peace, urging viewers to look within and connect with the nurturing essence of Mother Earth. Brokli’s intention is to serve as a bridge between generations, blending pop music with the spiritual influences from the ’70s and ’80s, while also opening the door to inner peace.

This video alongside more music from the soon to be released Album Dimension Groove is to be showcased live at prestigious festivals across the UK in 2024, including Medicine Festival, Freedom Festival, and Moovin, as well as various spiritual gatherings. Through his artistry, Brokli seeks to inspire and uplift young audiences, offering a pathway to deeper meaning and spiritual enlightenment.
