Brooksie got his first taste of popularity while he was a member of "Potential Crew", a group he formed early in career and included members Western Ranks (D.J.) and Singing Crystal.  Potential Crew did well in those days and made several appearances on local Television and Radio Programs. The crew recorded over twelve songs for various producers which included an entry in the J.C.D.C. popular song competition entitled "Say It Out Loud", they won 3 rd place in the finals and the trophy for best performance.

Being a member of the Potential Crew provided the opportunity of performing on many major events such as Sting 1999, The Crowning of Miss Inner City, Potential in Concert held at the Little Pub in Ocho Rios, the Poinciana Beach Resort Hotel and Bob Marley 56th Birthday Bash in 2001, Jamaica National Building Society taff, Awards Luncheon in 2001 and The Airanox Business and Technology College Graduation Ceremony held at the Wyndham Montego Bay Hotel.  Lt. Brooksie played with the group for over three years before he decided to go solo. Brooksie re-established his link with Creative Sounds, the second music company he associated his self with at the beginning of his career. 

Under Creative Sound management, he recorded a television and radio ad which constituted part of the 2001-2002 Red Label Wine ad campaign.  The success of that ad created other opportunities in the field to include ads for the Jamaica Observer and Bill Express.  Lt. Brooksie went on to record other singles for  Patrick Dunn and Irie Vibrations Music, more notably was a single called "My baby is gone", featuring Reggae artiste Rick Anthony. My baby is gone got some amount of airplay on Irie FM and other local radio stations, a music video was shot and released to promote the single which subsequently went into rotation on several local television and cable entertainment programs. 

Since then Brooksie did a number of recordings namely; " No Gun Town ", " Music Sweet ", " Don't Lose Control " and “ More weed ” a collaboration with Canadian Reggae artiste Johnny Kneumonic.  More weed created an impact in Canada which led to Lt. Brooksie's two weeks visit in Canada where he performed on two shows and did a number of interviews on several Radio stations including CHRY 105.5 and Zion Train Show with Natty B and Bigga. On his return from Canada, Lt. Brooksie performed on "The Original Manhattans” in concert featuring Dorothy Moore, Dobby Dobson, George Nooks, One Third and Nickesha Barnes.  He also performed consecutively for three (3) nights at the Disco Inferno in Montego Bay, Fayors Entertainment Centre Mandeville and the National Indoor Sports Arena in Kingston.
