In 2004 her first single “Everything to me” came out and because of it’s success Brooke decided to continue with her music career.
In the period the show “Hogan knows best” was filmed she was trying to record her own first album. That debut album was released in 2006 and was quite a success. The name of the album is “Undiscovered” and the album made a lot of hit singles.
Her second album, from 2009 called The Redemption wasn’t a success and it hasn’t made out not one hit song.
From 2008 to 2009 she had her own TV show “Brooke knows best” because the personal problems of her family made her father loose his own show.

She is very devoted to her family so after her father was accused of racial comments in 2006 and fired by WWE, Brooke made a poem for her father stating he is a very good persin and that everybody makes mistakes.
She was also very supportive for her brother Nick who was involved in a car accident that caused his passenger John Graziano to be in a vegetative state. He was only 17 years old when that happened but he had to serve 8 months prison sentence and pay medical expenses for the victim.
Hulk Hogan have been accused of being in an incest relationship with Brooke many times, but they always laughed at it on the social medias.
After she made naked pictures for PETA she answered her haters on the media saying them to find their own life and to leave her and her father alone. It was her answer to their incest accusation she repeatedly gets.
Her mother Linda filed for divorce in 2008 ( after their son had an accident ) and her father Hulk remarried to Jennifer McDaniel in 2010.
