"Combining Linda Ronstadt's passion-filled voice and Michelle Branch's type of guitar sound Steele plans to keep recording and performing".

Bio
With the support of some of music’s most respected artists, Whitney Steele has come into her own. Whitney's Pop Contemporary sound grabbed the attention of Gin Blossom’s lead singer Robin Wilson, whose golden backup vocals and guitar are featured in Whitney’s original song “You Won’t See Me Crying.” The song was so successful that Whitney was selected from more than 300 Cingular Mobile Music Studio artists nationwide to compete for a chance to perform “You Won’t See Me Crying” on an episode of the hit prime time show One Tree Hill on the CW television network. Whitney battled against four other bands as the only female solo artist chosen by the judges.
Gretsch Guitars selected Whitney to debut one of the four guitars in the Gretsch Americana series in her latest music video for her song “Storm Warning.” Most recently, Whitney was the first artist to receive a nomination for singer/songwriter in the first annual Phoenix Music Awards (sister to the Los Angeles Music Awards) which will be held at The Celebrity Theatre in September of 2008. Whitney has also been nominated for Best Music Video for her just released 'Storm Warning' video. Storm warning is the first track on her self titled CD. Whitney also received pop single of the year (2007) at the Hollywood F.A.M.E. Awards for her brand new song 'Where Did You Go'.
