| Danielle Brisebois has completely come into her own. With one song on each of the debut releases of American Idols Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken, as well as songs lined up for Cher and upcoming artists Natasha Bedingfield (BMG), Candice (Sony) and Sarah Whatmore (19 Entertainment) - Danielle is emerging as a truly versatile and much sought-after songwriter. This innate versatility is not foreign to her...her foundation for songwriting comes from a uniquely diverse background.
Danielle made the leap from a typically normal life to one vastly more surreal at an early age. At only six years old, Danielle auditioned for the original cast of "Annie" on Broadway, wowed the director, and woke up the morning after opening night to find herself on the front page of the New York Post with Barbara Streisand quoted as asking her, "Can I adopt you?" (These days, Danielle gets reminded of her past all the time because it's her own voice from "Annie" that Jay-Z sampled on his hit single, "Hard Knock Life"). Inevitably, Hollywood called and Danielle transitioned easily to television, starring in 'Archie Bunker's Place', the spin-off of the legendary sitcom, 'All In The Family'. Despite gaining invaluable experience in television and on stage, by her late teens her emerging passion for music - specifically songwriting - became her first priority.
Danielle brings to the songwriting table experience which is inherently linked to her career as a recording artist. She penned a canon of powerful songs for her two solo records - one on Epic, the other on RCA. She was a member of 'The New Radicals' and co-wrote the second smash single, 'Someday We'll Know' with Gregg Alexander on their multi-platinum release. Having absolutely no regrets and nothing but the perfect kind of energy, Danielle has made a stunning transition to collaborator for other artists, bringing both her songwriting and producing talents to various projects. From Mandy Moore (another opportunity for "Someday We'll Know" from the soundtrack to 'A Walk To Remember') and Carly Hennessy (Danielle co-wrote and produced seven songs for her debut album) to two songs on the 2004 debut of aforementioned BMG artist Natasha Bedingfield - Danielle continues tolend strength, talent and supreme professionalism to everything she does. From ballad to rock, boom box to screen, Danielle's music enhances any project. |
