Biography |
Brooke Bollea was born in Tampa, Florida, on May 2, 1988. As
a little girl she would often sing around the house, and was
always willing to perform for family and friends. By the
early age of 10, Brooke already knew she wanted to be a
singer.
After sharing her dream with her parents, they arranged for
her to meet with record executive Lou Pearlman. Pearlman,
who had worked with such artists as Britney Spears, the
Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, was impressed by the
13-year-old singer, but thought she could use a few years to
mature and improve.
Although she was simultaneously involved in dance classes,
voice lessons and gymnastics, Brooke still found time for
cheerleading. She joined the squad of her St. Petersburg
school, Admiral Farragut Academy, in her freshman year. Her
gymnastics training helped her from the outset, and just
like her dad, Brooke played the muscle on the team: She
acted as a base, holding other girls up and forming the
foundation of pyramids.
Even in the midst of her extracurricular activities, Brooke
continued to work hard in developing her vocal talents. And
her practice paid off. In early 2002, she returned to Lou
Pearlman, and proceeded to sing for him again and perform a
piano medley. Pearlman was impressed, and Brooke was
immediately signed as a Trans Continental Records artist.
Having secured her record deal, Brooke gave up cheerleading
for singing. That is, until she made the video for her
single "Everything To Me." The director of the video, Nigel
Dick, had Brooke put her past experience to work and pick up
her pompoms again for the shoot. It looks like there will be
many more cheers to come.
With numerous appearances, Brooke's journey has been a very
public one. In the spring of 2004, she sang the national
anthem at an NHL hockey game between the Tampa Bay Lightning
and the Montreal Canadiens. She has also appeared on
television shows like Live! With Regis and Kelly.
In July of 2005, Brooke launched her television career in
Hogan Knows Best, a VH1 reality series. Having followed her
father's lead in adopting the last name Hogan for
entertainment purposes, Brooke plans to continue singing,
and hopes to mimic her peers Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff
in creating a large following. |
