Twenty-five-year-old
singer/songwriter Danny Leggett describes his music as “acoustic pop hidden
behind folk curtains;” a description fitting for his catchy melodies embedded
in honest, intimate lyrics and folk accompaniment. Despite his often-humble
delivery, Leggett possesses head-turning talent. When Leggett’s family
made the move from Orlando, FL to Boone, NC, Leggett brushed off his dad’s old
classical guitar during his sophomore year of high school and taught himself
how to work his way around the steel-stringed instrument. By 2007, he re-rooted
back in Orlando, picked up the banjo and began gaining attention while playing
local venues. In 2010, Leggett released his debut EP entitled “New Years Eve P.”
It was this EP that landed him a gig writing an original track for the major
motion picture “Renee" starring Kat Dennings, Chad Michael Murray and
Rupert Friend. Leggett will be featured in the film with an on-screen musical
performance of his song “The Valley.”
anddd his super supportive girlfriend took the clever cover photo for said EP.
