Sunny Sweeney was born in Houston, Texas. Initially, Sweeney decided that she wanted to be an improv comedian. She moved to New York City to join a comedy troupe; however, the troupe's other members persuaded her to choose a career in singing instead, and she moved back to her native Texas.
She put out her first album with the production help of Tommy Detamore. After gaining a following on the club circuit in her native Texas, Sweeney signed to the independent Big Machine Records label. She also toured throughout Europe in 2007. Her debut album, Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame, was initially self-released, and was reissued in 2007 on Big Machine. The album produced three singles in "If I Could," "Ten Years Pass" and "East Texas Pines", although none of these songs charted.
In 2009, Sweeney was signed as the first artist to Republic Nashville, a newly-founded joint venture between Big Machine and Universal Republic Records. Her first single for the label is "From a Table Away," which was released on June 28, 2010. It became her first chart single when it debuted at #58 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week of June 26, 2010. In March 2011, the song entered the Top 10 of the chart.
Republic Nashville will release Sweeney's second studio album, Concrete, on August 23, 2011. The album will be produced by Brett Beavers and will consist of ten tracks, including one co-written with Radney Foster. The album's second single "Staying's Worse Than Leaving" released to country radio on May 2, 2011.
