Dannii Minogue is in her element, after a decade in the music industry she has finally found her niche as the glamorous face of dance music. Until now, credible dance and sexy, internationally famous pop starlets may have seemed a contradiction in terms - and especially in Dannii's case where people who have concentrated more on her show-stopping looks, may have overlooked the hard graft that's gone into her music. "There's a lot people don't know about me" she admits. So how did she find herself as part of this eclectic coupling? Even being christened the pioneer of modern electro-pop. "Last year, "Everyone from NY and LA, to Miami and Dallas were going crazy for Who Do You Love Now. It was knocking Justin Timberlake and Beyonce off the top of the dance charts for seventeen weeks consecutively. I couldn't believe it. I guess dance music was looking for someone people could know, or they already knew to add a different edge to it. I finally realized what 'my thing' is."

Her laid back style is part of Dannii's upbringing; she is, of course, one of Australia's biggest female exports, having sold over 6.8 million records since she released her first album at the age of 16. Born in Melbourne, she inherited her mother's - an ex ballerina - love of dance. She started her career in show business at the age of seven which soon led into being talent spotted for the Australian version of the Mickey Mouse club. "I've always loved singing and dancing. I wasn't necessarily the best, but I've always been a very fast learner. Even now, it takes me less time than a professional to learn a dance routine." she says. She was brought up listening to Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack and Janet Jackson. "I loved Janet because she wasn't typically skinny, but she was the most amazing mover," she says. After six years on the show and a stint on the soap Home and Away, her intention was to step away from showbiz and concentrate on her studying. An A-plus student, she had her heart set on becoming a director of music videos. "But then I was asked if I wanted to make an album. At the time I thought it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and that I'd be back a year later and would continue with my studies. So I went for it." Within weeks, she was on a plane to England, where she has pretty much remained ever since. "I was only 16, I had absolutely no idea what lay in store."

Fast forward to 2004 and Dannii is now one of Europe's most well known and most loved faces of pop as well as a diminutive style icon.
