If you are a country music fan who just happened to follow the 2007 fair circuit you may have been lucky enough to see this woman in concert. If you are a country music fan who happens to listen to country music radio, than you surely heard her on the radio. These were two ways that the fans were able to get to know a little about Danielle Peck.
Danielle Peck is known as a super, sexy talented country music singer and up and coming star. She has all ready received the honor of having her songs recorded as ringtones for anyone and everyone to download onto their cell phones. She also has had the honor of opening for such star power performers as Brad Paisley.
Danielle Peck was born on September 14, 1978 in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Yet, she grew up in the small town of Coshocton, Ohio. She grew up in a musical type family. Her mother’s family sang and traveled in churches. Her father’s (an US Marine) family sang at dances. Her influences include the usual singers and musicians such as Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, Reba McIntyre, Loretta Lynn, Shania Twain and Trish Yearwood. Yet, she is also influenced by what some may consider unusual artists like: Gwen Stefani, Wilson Phillips and Pat Bentar.
The first song Danielle ever performed was "Folsom Prison Blues" by the late great Johnny Cash. She still performs this song at most of her live concerts.
Danielle wrote her first song at the age of 10 and joined her first band (The Neon Moon Band) at the age of 16. After graduating high school, Danielle knew singing, performing and writing country music songs were her destiny. For this reason, she packed up and moved to where all the aspiring country musicians go, Nashville, Tennessee.
Starting out like many stars, Danielle began working as a waitress. She was a busy woman, funding her dream by waiting tables, writing songs when she found the time. Some days she would be up at 8 in the morning. Writing songs until 2 in the afternoon and then off to work, she would go until 2 or 3 the next morning. She would do the same thing the next day. Yet, her hard work paid off in the way of a real job as a song writer.
Finally, she was signed to a recording deal with DreamWorks Records. But as fate would have it, the company folded before her first album was debuted.
Then along came a deal with her current company Big Machine Records. Taylor Swift and Trisha Yearwood are two other stars who are recording with Big Machine.
Danielle got busy with her first tracks and soon her first big hit “I don’t" which was released off of her first album entitled: Danielle Peck. It reached number 28 on the Hot Country Songs Charts in 2005. In June 2006, Danielle released her full album. It made its way up to number 23 on the top of the US billboard charts of top country albums.
Danielle’s hit that touched every woman who was out there looking for that special man: "Finding a Good Man." was released next. It also made its way into the top 30 charts. This is the song that she is noted for now. Once she starts singing this one at the fairs, the fans come alive.
Along came the song "Isn’t that everything." It was also released in 2006 and made it to the top 30 list.
"Bad for me" has been the latest song released by Danielle Peck. Although, it hasn’t reached the top 40 charts, yet, there are tons of fans that can recite every word of this song.
This is the key to Danielle Peck’s ongoing success, the fans. If you check out her MySpace page, you will see that she is devoted to keeping her up with her fans and with pleasing them.
The song "Bad for Me" plays as the fans can read the comments left by Danielle and the other fans. It has been played over 3,000,000 times. She also has over 44,000 fans that have signed up to her page.
On that page, the fans can see where she is performing. Some of the gigs are big stages (yes, she has even been on the Grand O’le Opry). But some of the gigs are much smaller (remember the fairs she played, they were even in small, no-name towns).
The fans also may relate to Danielle because of her songs. Danielle strives to make each of her songs real or a part of her. She proclaims that each song she writes reflects a little bit about her, something she has been through or has felt.
Danielle believes in being real. As her MySpace page reads: Keep it country & Keep it real. If she continues to do this, she will continue to rise as a star. Plus, her fans will continue to have a chance of getting to know her, the real Danielle Peck.
