Megan Danielle

Megan Danielle, a talented singer-songwriter from Dallas, Georgia, has captured hearts and earned acclaim as a standout performer and runner-up on American Idol Season 21 in 2023. Growing up in a lively household with two sisters and a brother, family has always been at the core of Megan's life. “I am really big on family; we are all so close and do just about everything together,” she says, reminiscing about joyful days spent watching her grandpa (paw-paw) and uncles at the racetrack, playing softball, and enjoying cornhole with her siblings.

Music has been a constant presence in Megan’s life. She recalls, “Since I was a little girl, I have always enjoyed listening to music and singing along to anything I’d hear.” Although initially shy about pursuing her passion, her determination grew. At just 15, Megan booked her own show at a local restaurant, and by 18, she was singing anywhere she could find an audience—bars, venues, and any place that welcomed her voice. A conversation with her ‘paw-paw’ changed the trajectory of her music to pursue singing about her faith and singing life-giving songs of encouragement.

Throughout her time on American Idol, Megan showcased an impressive range of musical styles, drawing inspiration from artists like Miranda Lambert, Lauren Daigle, Chris Stapleton, and Fleetwood Mac. Despite her young age of 22, she possesses a depth of soul and experience that resonates with listeners.

In 2023, Megan released her first official single, “Dream Girl,” marking the beginning of her solo career. After a year of touring, writing, and evolving as an artist, she signed with Sony/Provident Music, joining the ranks of well-known artists like Brandon Lake and Zach Williams. Her upcoming single, “When I Found You,” written with Jason Ingram and Ethan Hulse, is set to be released November 15, 2024, with more music to follow in early 2025.

Megan is also making waves as a featured vocalist, collaborating with Ben Fuller on “If I Got Jesus” and Sidewalk Prophets on “Looking Up.” Currently, Megan is touring the country with Consumed By Fire and Caleb & John, performing new songs from her upcoming 2025 EP. Megan will also embark on her first Christmas tour with Jordan St. Cyr in December.

With a bright future ahead, Megan Danielle continues to prove that her love for music, family and her faith will always guide her journey.
