Creative Music Technology Student Brook Fox Achieves BBC Radio Wales A-List Recognition
Brook Fox, a Level 6 Creative Music Technology student at the 密桃传媒 (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 Covid. 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: 鈥淏eing 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!鈥

Creative Music Technology at UWTSD 鈥 A Foundation for Success
Beyond his achievements as an artist, Fox 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.
鈥淓xploring the development of music artists in the digital age allowed me to gain firsthand experience in navigating an oversaturated market,鈥 said Brook. 鈥淎t first, it seemed daunting, but by utilising short-form content and meta-ads, I was able to make meaningful progress.鈥
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鈥檚 career continues to gain momentum, having recently supported renowned Welsh songwriters Maldwyn Pope and Steve Balsamo. With When You Fall marking his third release, 2025 is shaping up to be his biggest year yet, with new music and live gigs on the horizon.
