Danni Leigh relocated to Orlando, Florida, at 19 intending to audition as a singer at Disney World but ended up moving to Nashville in 1994.
She signed with Audium Records after changing labels several times following Decca's closure and release by Sony's Monument label.
In addition to performing as a solo artist, she also plays with a number of groups and although she has limited success in the US, Leigh has found a significant following for her honky-tonk country in Europe.
