*Biography*
 

In this corner, standing at 5ft. 10, Brooke Hogan is waiting to challenge
her pop star peers to a musical smackdown. Strikingly gorgeous with
peircing green eyes and long blonde hair. This 16 year old has been
watching, cheering and rooting for success but never in the spotlight
like that of her father,wrestling great Terry "Hulk" Hogan. Now, as the
"Hulkster" adjust to retirement, Brooke is stepping into the ring with a
VH1 Special that will air this summer, and a debut album, a mix of piano
driven pop rock/ R and B songs that will be out this fall on
Trans-Continental/I-4 Records

Her first single "Everything to Me" showcases Brooke's influences that
run the gamut from Stevie Wonder to Pink. The Album stresses pop hits
with strong musicality that highlights Brooke's vocal ability and piano
playing, making thedebut effort a pop treat that avoids being overly
saccharine. "Co-writting this album has been a great experience,"
She says. "I'm pushing myself harder than ever before and really getting
a chance to let my personality shine."

Raised in Tampa,Florida, but often traveling the country with her mother to
see her father in action, Brooke was fueled by intensity of her father's drive
for success. So, when Brooke was 10, she stopped waiting for fate to hand
her a record deal, and started flipping through the yellow pages calling talent
agents. Says Brooke, "I wasn't raised with a silver spoon, I was raised to be
resourceful and follow through with everthing I set out to do, so that's what i did,"she says with a laugh. Brooke threw herself into her dream of reach
pop stardom taking piano lessons, dance lessons, voice lessons, cheerleading
and more. Her parents recognized her drive and arranged a meeting for
Brooke with legendary music entrepreneur Lou Pearlman.

Pearlman, was impressed with Brooke's talente, but at age 13 she was still a bit
young and needed to continue developing her voice. Two years later, Pearlman
signed her on the spot after signing a version of "The Little Mermaid" where she
accompanied herself on piano. "I just knew," said pearlman as he walked into
the studio. "This girl has an amazing gift and it's shown as i've seen her mature
from the inital meeting in 2000, to when I signed her in 2003, to where we are
today in 2004, recording her debut album."
