She was signed with Audium Records,[3] after changing labels several times,[4] following Decca's closure, and her by Sony's Monument label.[5] 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.[4] Over time, she has also developed a following in Korea, Brazil, and Japan.[6] In 1999, she was nominated for the Rising Star Trophy, a British Country Music Award.[7] In 2001, she released A Shot of Whiskey and a Prayer.[8]

She has also performed a number of small gigs in the Austin area,[9] where she moved in 2002.[10]

On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed Danni Leigh among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.[11]
