Lyrik Brooks grew up in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, where music was both a lifeline and a legacy. As the older sister of Noah Brooks, she learned early how to be strong. Not just for herself, but for her little brother and for their mother, who had done everything she could to hold the family together after their father walked out for another man. Lyrik was the first to fall in love with music; she sang for clubs and girls, wrote songs in worn notebooks, and taught Noah how to harmonize before he could even read sheet music. When Noah's career began to take off, Lyrik felt both pride and worry.
Noah fought his demons in the spotlight, Lyrik worked behind the scenes, writing songs for other artists and quietly building a name as a respected lyricist. She often tried to pull her brother back from the edge, reminding him that his worth went deeper than fame or the next hit record. Still, the distance between them grew as Noah's addiction and heartbreak consumed him. Lyrik struggled to balance her own dreams with the responsibility she felt toward him. Noah's success began to falter as his addiction grew, but hers didn't when meeting the group, Take 3 and falling for Star Davis.
