Dannii Minogue

Dannii Minogue was born on October 20, 1971 at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and is the youngest of three children. Her elder sister Kylie Minogue is a singer and her elder brother Brenden Minougue is a TV camera man. Once upon a time her mother was a professional ballet dancer.

As a child Dannii started to take singing and dancing lessons. In the year 1978 she captured a small role in the Australian television serie `Skyways`.

Dannii then went on to put her selfdesigned outfits on the market in the year 1988 and achieved instant success. She named her brand, DANNII, which was completely sold out in ten days. Finally Dannii signed a contract with the Australian record company `Mushroom Records`. She released her first solo single `Love And Kisses` in the year 1989 which sold 60.000 copies. She named her debut album after her first hitsingle, which stayed in the Australian charts for some months. The single `I Don't Wanna Take This Pain and Jump To The Beat` elongated the success story to the next level. It was a big moment and a huge achievment for Dannii as she became famous outside Australia also. In the year 1993 her single `This Is It` captured the number 10 spot in the English chart. Due to the huge success of her sister they became the best well-known singing sisters of that year.

When she released her second album `Get Into You` her popularity in England was at its peak. But the big international breakthrough that she hoped and expected did not happen.

But she remained in the news for quite some time. Then she married and after some time got divorced. After all this she took some time off from her usual work and created a new fashion for her brand DANNII.

Dannii never received global appreciation and fame like her sister did. But Dannii did not make it affect her too much and so remained active in her music and show. She went on to release a single-compilation album in the year 1999 and later took part in a theatre production of MacBeth.

Then her cooperation with producer Riva produced the single `Who Do You Love Now?` which gave Dannii Minogue her biggest international hit in 2001. She is at present working on her forthcoming albums and without knowing the outcome of the results it can be said that Dannii Minogue will always stay in the hearts of people as a respectable actress and a fashion designer with a lot of potential and creativity.
