About Me


Above banner made by Steve Skaggs!
Hey there everybody! I'm Dani =)
I'm not going to bore you with the facts of how I've been singing all my life, play guitar and write music. All I'll say is I don't care about money and fame, I just do what I love - sing, play, write, record and perform.
I'm just another 16 year old girl with a guitar and a dream. There are more of us than you think. At the moment my life is a blur of cold mornings, too much work and not enough time to pick up a guitar. But that's life. I should also probably start getting more sleep, because without at least one strong cup of coffee in the morning, I can't function.
I'm not like anyone else you'll ever meet. Or at least, I'd like to think not! I don't think people realise how much is going on inside my head most of the time, but it's a busy little place in there - sometimes to the point where even I find it hard to handle. I have many quirks about me and I guess I'm a little weird sometimes, but I'm ok with that =)
I love cowboy boots, New York City and a good movie. I love to spend time with the people that matter to me, and I mean it when I say I miss them as soon as they walk out the door! I love to go horse-riding in the summer and I like it in winter when we can light a real fire in the fireplace. And I like it when it rains - a proper English rainstorm when the sun comes out afterwards and everything looks shiny and new.
So that’s me in a nutshell. And if you like the sound of me, my music, or (hopefully) both, add me. You know I'd love it =)
My friends and family are my world, and I couldn't do this without them. Thank you to everyone who's ever taken even the slightest interest in what I do, from the bottom of my heart, I adore you all.
Love, hope and all that jazz
~Dani xXx

Influences: The artists who have influenced me the most are probably Shania Twain, Dolly Parton, and Lee Ann Womack. I think all the artists I listen to inspire me in different ways, but those are the three that spring to mind.
I'd say one of my BIGGEST influences - not just as a songwriter and musician, but as a person - is Dolly Parton. She's quite an astounding individual, and so down to earth even with so many years in the spotlight. Not to mention that her skills as a songwriter and musician seem unlimited! I'm still baffled as to how she can play a guitar with nails that long. Basically I think she's amazing. But you got that already =)
