Australian singer-songwriter and actress

Dannii Minogue

Danielle Jane Minogue is an Australian singer, television personality, and actress. Born and raised in Melbourne, she first appeared on the television talent show Young Talent Time (1982–1988) before gaining recognition for her role as Emma Jackson on the Australian soap opera Home and Away (1989–1990). Minogue began her music career in the early 1990s, achieving early success with her debut album, Love and Kisses (1991), and the singles "Love and Kisses", "Jump to the Beat" and "Success". Following the release of her second album, Get into You (1993), Minogue's popularity as a singer declined, leading her to make a name for herself with award-winning performances in theatre productions.
