Early life
Though she was born in New Orleans, Brunet was adopted at age 4 and spent most of her childhood in Bayou Cane, Louisiana. She was raised in a Catholic family, though she left Catholicism behind at a young age. Brunet moved to New York City when she was 19 years old, where she met Mel Terpos (aka The Guitar Doctor) while working at S.I.R. Studios. Mel was the guitar guru for Keith Richards, Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, and Hall & Oates, among many others. Terpos became her mentor and played a large role in her becoming a drummer and later a guitarist.
