Can't Quit You
Three Wishes
The Times When
Danielle Cormier, 21, is a pure and powerful voice for the new age. A singer-songwriter, she credits her love for the arts to seeing her first Broadway show at five years old. From there Cormier learned to play the piano, guitar, performed in many school plays and regional theatre productions. Then, she began to write.
Cormier grew up in one of the golf capitals of the world (Pinehurst, NC). She is the daughter of a former Canadian harness horse racer and of an actress as an extra on the TV show "Matlock" turned restaurateur. The family owns the Pinehurst Track Restaurant, known for having one of the best blueberry pancakes in the world (ranked third by the Golf Channel).
That early experience led Danielle to pursue a degree at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City. There, she studied musical theater from some of the best in the business and honed her skills. But to Danielle, something was missing. After a performance that afforded her the opportunity to play guitar during her number, Danielle realized that her true calling was to be a performing singer-songwriter. “Our teachers were all working professionals,” says Cormier. “Almost all of them commented ‘Wow you sound like Carole King!’ or ‘You really have a Joni Mitchell sound to your voice.’ As it turns out, they were pushing me towards my passion.”
