Hello,

 

Can someone tell me what "hooked" means here?

 

More than the pleasure of singing, it was her capacity to use her voice to act, to express herself and convey words, that hooked her as a young girl, she explained.

It means that her capacity to use her voice to act, to express herself and convey words captivated her when she was a young girl, made her addicted to singing.
