You may be aware of Nick Hogan from his family’s reality TV show on VH1 “Hogan Knows Best.” He’s the son of World Wrestling Federation icon Hulk Hogan and always planned to continue in the family business. However, he keep sustaining injuries, which led to his decision to become a DJ…. and then a producer. He recently released an EDM track called “Everybody’s Doing It.” It's worth a listen, if only for a laugh.
Earlier this year, Nick told the Chicago Tribune that he first received turntables for Christmas from his pop star singer Brooke Hogan. He paid a DJ $400 to teach him how to use them, and practiced in his spare time. He decided to “postpone” his wrestling career to DJ full time, however he hasn’t been happy with the kind of gigs he’s been offered so far including opening for “Jersey Shore” star Pauly D in Los Angeles.
“Being me was kind of a double-edged sword when it came to DJing. It’s a blessing that I have a father whose last name is famous enough that people want to book me at a club. At the same time, the clubs that wanted to hire me weren’t the best clubs for me to play at. It was a novelty for them, but it wasn’t a novelty for me. The places I wanted to play wouldn’t hire me because they didn’t want to be associated with the novelty: ‘Oh man, here’s another celeb DJ.’ A lot of club owners wouldn’t give me the time of day a few years ago, but now they’ve seen (that) I stuck with it.”
