Thijs Westbroek, better known by his stage name Brooks, is a Dutch DJ, record producer and electronic musician from Eindhoven. He is best known for his collaborations with Martin Garrix such as "Byte" and "Like I Do". Brooks's career as a DJ began to progress when he sent his song to twenty random email addresses that could be related to Martin Garrix. To his delight, the song he sent was played by Garrix at a show. Soon after, Garrix contacted and told Brooks of his enthusiasm for his music. Garrix later invited him to his house to work on the "Byte" song. Brooks described the event as a "crazy story" and said he felt lucky. On 13 October 2017, he released the single "Boomerang" with Garrix, who used the alias GRX. On 22 February 2018, Brooks collaborated with Garrix and David Guetta to release "Like I Do" as a single. It was released via What A Music, Big Beat, Atlantic and Parlophone. In 2018, Brooks was nominated for a prize by SLAM! named "Best Talent 2018".
