Growing up in a musical household, Danielle Spencer developed a passion for music at an early age. Her career began when she and her brother toured Australia as children with their children’s entertainer father, Don Spencer. As a teenager, she became a mini-star, dancing, singing and playing as part of her brother’s band, Baby Loves to Cha Cha.

In spite of her love for music, Spencer had her heart placed on becoming an actress. She participated in such productions as “Mission Thraxonia” at Sydney’s Her Majesty’s Theatre, and “Rasputin” (1987), where she portrayed Anastasia, and soon after that began her television and film acting career. By the time she completed high school, acting had eclipsed singing and playing piano.

After making her early TV appearances with guest roles in an episode of the American-made show “Mission Impossible” (1987) and in two episodes of “The Flying Doctors” (1989-1999), a highly successful show in Scandinavia, Spencer made her feature acting debut in the family What the Moon Saw and the drama The Crossing (both 1990). The latter production co-starred Russell Crowe, and the couple soon began an extended on-again, off-again romantic bond.

The following year saw Spencer appear as Pamela in her first television movie, Mission: Top Secret, starring Beth Buchanan, as well as land her first regular role on the Australian short-lived sitcom “Hampton Court,” as Lisa. She continued to have guest roles in “Minder” in 1993 and “Law of the Land” in 1994 before being cast as Quinn Jackson in the hit Aussie soap “Home and Away” in 1995.

While her acting career was on the increase through the 1990s, Spencer went on performing in a variety of bands with her brother. In the late ‘90s, she finally decided to write and record her own music. To subsidize the project, she undertook a regular role in the late-night sex-and-sun soap “Pacific Drive,” playing Callie Macrae from 1996 to 1997. After costarring in the show, she completed her first demo recording in 1999, and then brought it to EMI Records, who provided her money to record another demo with producer Vince Pizzinga. Still in 1999, Spencer also was discovered acting in the challenging and entertaining drama/thriller movie Game Room, as Alena.

In 2000, Spencer was seen making guest appearances in television series “All Saints” and “BeastMaster,” and shortly after that released her debut single, “Jonathon White,” in late 2000. A few months later, she joined forces with companion Crowe for an American tour, where she became the opening of Crowe’s band 30 Odd Foot of Grunts. Riding high on her growing profile, particularly in Australia, where Spencer and Crowe became Aussie’s top star pairing, Spencer eventually launched a full-length album, White Monkey, in September 2001. In addition to “Jonathon White,” the album contained such singles as “White Monkey,” “Blast Off,” “Forgive Me,” and “Tickle Me,” for which Crowe directed the video clip. Though White Monkey did not ignite the charts, it was met with excellent critical review.

After several years away from her recording studio, the pretty Australian musician released her sophomore effort titled Back At The Red Door in 2006. Among tracks in her newest album is “The Broken Ones,” which now can be heard in her website.
