Mylin (Brooks) has been fortunate to have experienced a lot in a relatively short life. Born in the Philippines and having grown up in the U.S., she's starred for 3 years on a television show, been signed to 3 major record deals, and has toured with her music all over the U.S. and as far as Japan and Korea.
As a teenager, she was handpicked to star on The Disney Channel's The Mickey Mouse Club, the show that also starred Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, JC Chasez, Ryan Gosling, and Keri Russell.
After three years on the show, at 18, Mylin signed a record deal with Toshiba/EMI. Following her stint on the label, she signed a development deal with Atlantic Records, before signing with an international major label in Japan and Southeast Asia, Avex Inc., joining label mates Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys.
Since, Mylin has released 6 albums, including 4 on the international major label and a string of hit singles. She's been included on more than 50 compilation albums, alongside Pink, 'N Sync, Britney Spears, R. Kelly, Backstreet Boys, Aaliyah, and Kylie Minogue, selling over 1 million copies.
She's topped international radio charts in Japan and Southeast Asia with Madonna, Mariah Carey, U2, Alanis Morissette, Celine Dion, Goo Goo Dolls, Aerosmith, Destiny's Child, Jewel, The Black Crowes, Sarah McLachlan, Lenny Kravitz, Jennifer Lopez, Whitney Houston, George Michael, Sheryl Crow, and Janet Jackson.
Mylin has been featured in dozens of magazines and news programs around the world, including E! Channel, A&E Biography, CNN, The Disney Channel, and in People magazine.
She has a 4-year deal with a cosmetics company with her own line of foxy faux nails called Mylin Fing'rs Edge, which has her on packaging and displays in over 3,000 Wal-Marts across the U.S. She also has promotional partnerships with Daisy Rock Guitars, Taverniti jeans, Antik Denim, Bed Head, and national non-profit organizations ThanksUSA and Freshi Flix.
In addition to touring throughout Japan and Southeast Asia for four years, Mylin has played shows on multi-platinum artist Nick Lachey's Tour, with Grammy-Winner Patti LaBelle, Grammy-Nominated Five for Fighting, multi-platinum artists Tantric and Mark Chesnutt, and major artists Beth Hart and Jonatha Brooke. She's performed at venues including, the Nokia Theatre in New York City, Los Angeles' Staples Center, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Warner Theatre in Washington D.C., The Roxy in Hollywood, Las Vegas' Celebrity Theater, and The Avalon Theatre in Hollywood.
Her father having been in the U.S. military, Mylin has also played 12 shows at U.S. military bases in support of the troops. She performed at the Air Force’s 60th Anniversary Gala at Edwards Air Force Base. She played before 80,000 at Fort Hood, Texas for a Welcome Home Celebration for the Army’s 1st Cavalry Division from Iraq. And in May of 2009 she performed for the Wounded Warriors in Milano, Texas. Mylin has also performed the national anthem before 45,000 at Angels Stadium for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and before 35,000 at an NBA game at the Tokyo Dome in Japan.
Mylin is one of a handful of female artists, including Sheila E, asked to participate in an upcoming 2009 documentary and compilation album called Making Music Herstory involving all female artists, writers, and producers. She is also one of a small group of artists that have been asked to take part in an upcoming "pink playlist" with iTunes for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization, the global leader of the breast cancer movement and world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists. iTunes is setting up a separate "room" for the initiative that will be available to a group of 500,000 women.
Mylin, who plays guitar and piano, has worked with a number of top producers in the music business, including Robin Thicke (Marc Anthony, Usher), David Frank (Christina Aguilera, Phil Collins), Howie Hersh (Mariah Carey, JaRule), Travon Potts (Christina Aguilera, Monica), Sander Selover (Hanson, Wild Orchid), and Ron Harris (Christina
Aguilera).
In 2007, Mylin performed at the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund benefit in Hollywood, hosted by Academy Award-winner Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), and included fellow participants Wendy Malick (Just Shoot Me), Melina Kanakaredes (CSI:NY), Steven Weber (Wings), Lucy Lawless (Zena), Peri Gilpin (Frasier), and Melissa Peterman (Reba).
Mylin, who grew up in Oklahoma, almost never made it to the U.S. Born in the Philippines to a father in the U.S. Navy and a Filipino mother, Mylin's father was encouraged to return to the U.S. without she and her mother due to his young age of 18 and their different backgrounds. The day he was to ship out, he got into a serious motorcycle accident. Badly injured in the hospital, he decided he didn't want to spend the rest of his life without Mylin and her mother. Two-year-old Mylin and her mother were flown to the U.S. in a C-130 military transport plane, carrying the bodies of deceased U.S. soldiers. The trip took a week and a half.
