British blues and soul singer Dani Wilde grew up in Hullavington in Wiltshire, where her father’s record collection, full of <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Motown%22">Motown</a>, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Stax%22">Stax</a>, and <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Chess%22">Chess</a> sides, convinced her that she wanted to sing and perform, and by the age of 17 she was opening for the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:17miutE3LMgwHppEEKwsGx">Maddy Prior</a>. When she turned 18, Wilde moved to Brighton to pursue a degree in music and took whatever singing spots she could find, quickly finding an audience, and by the end of 2006 she was opening for <a href="spotify:artist:6eLbRJP12OhyvUv4ntto4e">Jools Holland</a> at the Royal Albert Hall. Blessed with a soulful voice, a unique guitar style, and a deep knowledge of the blues, Wilde caught the attention of blues label Ruf Records and signed with the imprint in 2007, releasing her debut album, Heal My Blues, a year later in 2008. Wilde toured the blues festival circuit behind the album, then returned to the studio with blues producer <a href="spotify:artist:3LFDPNxxv2lWmfdwgABupl">Mike Vernon</a> to record her second album, Shine, which was released in the summer of 2011. She next teamed with <a href="spotify:artist:5HsS48kuvghKcNpwOaAvB5">Samantha Fish</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3rHAg1yXbyNq0mnPgsVahe">Cassie Taylor</a> for the blues sampler album Girls with Guitars, which also appeared from Ruf Records in 2011. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
