Some Famous People called Danni Leigh
Danni Leigh
Michelle Sheetz, better known as Danni Leigh (born February 9, 1970), is an American country music singer. At age 19, she relocated to Orlando, Florida, intending to audition as a singer at Disney World, but ended up moving to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1994.
She was signed with Audium Records, after changing labels several times, following Decca's closure, and her by Sony's Monument label. Although she has limited success in the US, she has had more success in Europe due to the varied methods in which consumers learn about new music. Over time, she has also developed a following in Korea, Brazil, and Japan. In 1999, she was nominated for the Rising Star Trophy, a British Country Music Award. In 2001, she released A Shot of Whiskey and a Prayer.
Leigh has also performed a number of small gigs in the Austin, Texas, area, where she moved in 2002.
As her career declined in the US, Leigh later moved again, this time to Spain, many years later and performed elsewhere in Europe and Asia. She even reached the rest of South America. During the tours, she met and eventually married her bandmate Mike McKenzie. The couple returned to Nashville for an attempt at restarting her career, but the birth of her only child, a son, in 2010 led her to emphasize both motherhood and becoming a businessperson. Leigh then moved with her husband back to Strasburg, Virginia, her birthplace, where she started her boutique-cum-fitness studio in 2018 and opened another in Winchester.
Leigh was among hundreds of artists whose material was destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.
