Mikki Daniel, 18-years-old from Texas, has lived all her life on a small ranch and is a true cowgirl from the tips of her cowboy boots to the top of her worn out, white felt cowboy hat. Her young resume includes singing, playing multiple instruments, songwriting, horse training and writing historical fiction novels. She discovered her true calling of playing, writing and singing Western music when she, at 5, fell in love with Roy Rogers and Gene Autry movies – she even owns (and trained) her golden palomino named Trigger. Mikki was mentored into the fascinating world of American cowboy-style music and yodeling and then, western swing (the official music of Texas!) by music greats such as Dave Alexander, Janet McBride, Devon Dawson, Bobby Flores, Rich O’Brian, Joey McKenzie, Dick Gimble, and Mark Gheen. Mikki began delighting audiences across the DFW Metroplex, the state of Texas and, now, festivals and events across the country with her unique style. Mikki has a heart dedicated to sharing this precious music that is fading away and you can't help but love the personality, charm and engaging smile of this young entertainer. She performs as a solo artist as well as with her band, Texas Wildfire, which she formed in 2014. Mikki has been a member of the WMA since she was 12 and among her numerous accolades, she has been awarded the WMA Crescendo Award, the WMA Marilyn Tuttle "Best of the Best" Harmony Award, the WMA Janet Mc Bride "Best of the Best" Yodeling Award,and the AWA Yodeler of the Year Award. She adds to her list of accomplishments the prestigious New Horizons Wrangler Award for her debut CD, "Gotta Be A Cowgirl" (which contains 9 songs that Mikki wrote). Mikki made history by being the youngest person to ever win a Wrangler Award. In 2014, she published her first historical fiction novel, Girls and Gunsmoke “Mikki Daniel is the BEST of the new crop of young Western entertainers! Her infectious smile and top-notch delivery will have you shouting...”ENCORE!” ~ Barry Ward Mikki writes and sings with such incredible depth and range! She is a credit to any genre but, lucky for us, she is, and obviously will be, an integral part of the Western Music genre!” ~ Rob Wolfskill, Tumbleweed Rob and the Southwest Junction “I think we’re looking at the next Cindy Walker here! The maturity in Mikki’s songwriting is incredible for someone her age and is almost unexplainable. Her ability to interpret her own tunes, as well as those of others, marks her as a performer with an outstanding future. Mikki represents great hope for the future of western music.” ~ Marvin O’Dell, Around the Campfire, Defenders of Freedom Radio "Mikki sings so sweetly and from the heart. She plays and understands the guitar better than I ever will. But it is her songwriting that got my attention. Mikki weaves good stories with such depth and meaning. How she can see through the eyes of the diverse people she writes of at the age of seventeen is beyond me. Mikki, you can go in any direction you wish and it will be great." ~ Rex Rideout, Time Travel Music Booking: 214-532-8010 [email protected] 606 N.
