Danielle Marie Peck (born September 14, 1978 in Jacksonville, North Carolina) is an American country music artist. Signed to the independent Big Machine Records label in 2005, Peck released her self-titled debut album, which produced the Top 30 country hits "I Don't", "Findin' a Good Man", and "Isn't That Everything". A fourth single, "Bad for Me", charted in mid-2007.
Peck was born in Jacksonville, North Carolina, but was raised in Coshocton, Ohio. She is the daughter of a United States Marine. Her parents both came from musical backgrounds. Her mother's side of the family traveled and sang in churches. Her fathers' parents and grandparents were steeped in country music, playing dances in the area.
Before Peck was able to even speak, she was able to sing. The first song she ever sang was Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues," which she continues to perform in her live shows to this day. She wrote her first song before the age of 10. She also sang in her church, as solo and as part of a choir. At age 16, she joined a band called The Neon Moon Band, which performed around the local area.
After graduating from River View High School in 1997, Peck went out on the road and formed her own band, that performed at festivals and other events. She then moved to Nashville, Tennessee, finding work as a waitress while pursuing a career in country music. While in Nashville, she met Clay Myers, a publisher who signed her to a deal as a songwriter with Barbara Orbison's Still Working Music. Peck soon started writing for her staff members.
On June 12, 2014, Peck married tour production manager Josh Smith in Ballina, Ireland. The following year, on August 16, they welcomed their first child together, daughter Ava Jolie Smith. Peck and Smith separated in March 2016, according to her official page.
Soon, Peck signed a recording contract with DreamWorks Records, with executive Scott Borchetta. She was working on her debut album, when DreamWorks folded and Borchetta founded his own record company entitled Big Machine Records, also the present-day record company for Taylor Swift as well as Tim McGraw.
