Starting at age three, with the encouragement of her family, Brooke began taking dance lessons. She had a natural aptitude for dancing and soon joined the Abby Lee Dance Company. She blossomed into dancer that would capture titles in local regional and national competitions.

Brooke feels fortunate by the opportunities that have come her way as she continues her participation in Dance Moms.

Brooke’s celebrity status has allowed her to become involved with many causes such as the Make A Wish Foundation. As Brooke puts it “those kids have dreams too, if I can help them realize their dreams then being a public figure is worth it.”

Like any teenager Brooke loves hanging out with friends, going shopping and seeing movies. A straight “A” student and her Dance Moms schedule doesn’t leave much time for socializing “but I do the best I can, my friends are really important to me” says Brooke.

Most teenagers would think that looking at Brooke’s average day, she had a full plate. So, why start a singing career now? “It is something I’ve always loved and dreamed about,” says Brooke, “ when the chance for me to record music came along, I had to go for it”.

With the success of her first single her Record Company showed its faith in Brooke’s ability and committed to the self-titled follow up album “Brooke Hyland”. “I loved making the album” says Brooke, “and can’t wait to share it with everyone. I think they’re going to love it as much as I loved making it”.

Her music is just another extension of her dedication and talent and the proof is in the listening. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
