Ally Brooke
Ally Brooke (her full name is Allyson Brooke Hernandez) was born on July 7, 1993, making her the oldest member of the group. She comes from San Antonio, Texas. Her parents' names are Pat and Jerry Hernandez. She was born premature at 1 pound 14 ounces and says that she came out singing!
Ally was home schooled from grade 6 through 12 and graduated. At the age of 9, she made an astonishing singing debut at her church. Her mother encouraged her to go for it and chase her dreams. Ally went on to preform at school talent shows and sang the National Anthem on the San Antonio Spurs vs. Lakers game. Ally's biggest influence was and still is Selena. She said Selena was her favorite entertainer and she loved her. She also said she loved her sweet spirit and joyful personality. Ally loves 80's inspired clothing, such as bright colors and hats. She is a devoted Christian. At her X Factor audition in Austin (TX), Ally sang On my knees by Jaci Velasquez and got four yeses. Even when Simon held his hand up for her to stop, she never did. She later said her eyes were closed and she had no idea Simon asked her to stop - she just got lost in the music. |
