LeAnn Rimes has made the rare transition from child prodigy to seasoned artist. Few in popular music can rival her in terms of critical acclaim or commercial success. She has sold more than 37 million records, won two Grammys, four Billboard Music Awards and received numerous industry awards, spent countless hours helping children and veterans, and established herself as a household name. LeAnn’s Curb debut, Blue, made her a star at thirteen, selling more than eight million copies and earning her two Grammy Awards, including the first Best New Artist distinction ever won by a country artist. Her next four albums topped the country charts and You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs, made history reaching #l in three Billboard categories – country, pop, and contemporary Christian. Her singles made equally deep impressions; one, “How Do I Live” (1997), lodged for an unprecedented eight months at number one en route to more than two hundred weeks on the country singles charts. LeAnn’s range as a singer has stretched past the borders of traditional country, from her contributions to the Coyote Ugly soundtrack (2000) to the more mature insights she achieves on her latest release, the gold-selling This Woman (2004). With her husband Dean Sheremet, she has written three children’s books, Jag and Jag’s Best Friend. Visit her web site (note: you will be leaving AnimalPlanet.com).
