Brooke Hogan
Biography
As the daughter of pro wrestler Hulk Hogan, pop singer Brooke Hogan grew up in a family accustomed to the type of lifestyle that comes with fame, which helped her easily transition into the celeb spotlight of her own making as a teenager. Born and raised in Tampa, FL, Brooke entered the world on May 5, 1988, as Brooke Bollea, the oldest of two children (she has a younger brother, Nick); she would later adopt her father's stage surname of Hogan. Growing up in a home filled with the music of the Isley Brothers, Earth, Wind & Fire, Whitney Houston, and Toni Braxton, she caught the entertainment bug early, starting piano lessons when she was five. Brooke soon added cheerleading, along with dance and voice classes, to her résumé, and at ten, she decided she was ready (with the help of her parents) to start calling talent agencies. This led to a modeling contract, and by 15, Brooke had further developed her musical skills enough to land opening slots on tours for Hilary Duff and the Backstreet Boys, as well as singing at a Radio Disney holiday event. She recorded her first charting single, "Everything to Me," in 2004, the same year her family was spotlighted on a VH1 television special.
