How Coming Out and Living Authentically Is Helping Singer Brooke Eden Change Country Music
E! News: I don't want to focus too much on it, but I'm curious. Before BMG bought out the label and you were sort of feeling like you had to keep yourself and a lot of your life compartmentalized, what were you hearing from the powerful people in the room with you? How it was expressed to you that forced you into that feeling?Well, they basically told me, "You keep your relationship quiet or you're not going to make it in this industry.
E! News: Aside from the havoc it wreaked on your health, did it take a toll on your relationship? I imagine that would be hard to navigate a new love while you're having to keep it so careful.Of course. I mean, in the beginning it was very much us against the world mentality. We were so happy in our bubble and just tried really hard not to let it affect us because we were just so happy when it was just us and our close friends.
So we had a lot of holding each other in each other's arms sobbing moments where we're like, "Are we ruining each other's lives?" And basically every single time that we just got to that point of what do we do, we knew that we couldn't do life without each other. So we just kept going. We just kept moving forward. It's definitely been a long journey, but gosh, it's so worth it. And I'm so happy that we were able to just love each other through it.
So it was a really short conversation, but, man, Ford Fairchild, he did such a good job of just making us feel like we were in our backyard, making us feel very comfortable. And it turns out Hil is just a complete natural in front of the camera. So all of those nerves and all that discomfort for so long, it had no space. It had no reality. She was awesome and great at it. It was just so much fun to film these videos in these beautiful locations.
