From singing Johnny Cash at three to hosting SiriusXM Y2 Country (Ch. 57), Danielle Peck has lived the full arc of country music—bars, churches, buses that broke down in every state, and arena tours that tested every ounce of grit. In this candid sit-down, Danielle opens up about being discovered by Scott Borchetta, cutting sides at DreamWorks, becoming the flagship female at Big Machine Records, and launching with the no-apologies single “Jesus Loves You, I Don’t.” She talks motherhood, faith-before-proof, and why the “wait” in a career is often the best teacher. You’ll hear road stories (Toby Keith and Joe Nichols), the on-air evolution that made her voice as trusted behind the mic as it is on stage, and the mindset that keeps her climbing—plus a sweet shout to her daughter Ava, who started writing songs at eight and hasn’t met a stage she didn’t like. If you need a jolt of real talk about resilience, authenticity, and surrounding yourself with the right people, this one’s for you.
What you’ll hear:
- How a bar room audition led to a record deal—and a 20-year Big Machine celebration
- Turning a painful breakup into an anthem that helped listeners leave abuse
- The broadcaster’s toolkit: comfort in silence, storytelling, and service to the audience
- Career “wait times,” why they matter, and how to stay ready
- Practical advice for artists: find your circle, feed your craft, keep saying “yes” to growth
