BIOGRAPHy

With his bad-boy looks, rocker voice and sensitive, family-man persona, Daughtry was the early favorite to win Season 5 of American Idol. So when this NC singer came in as fourth runner-up, his ousting shocked viewers, the judges and even Daughtry himself – and sparked a small scandal. Whatever the reason he lost, Daughtry’s future remained bright, with many potential job offers immediately on the table, including an invitation from Fuel to become the band’s lead singer. He ultimately turned the group down in favor of fronting a new band aptly named Daughtry. The band has been very successful, and he became the first American Idol alum to produce two consecutive Number One albums: Daughtry and Leave This Town. In addition to touring, Daughtry has returned to the American Idol stage to perform, and his band has appeared on awards shows and at events such as the Super Bowl Tailgate Party and the Countdown to the NCAA Final Four Concert. His band has also been nominated for four Grammys, four time AMA winner and 6x Billboard Music Awards Winner. Daughtry has sold over 10 million albums and 22 million singles and his music has been streamed more than 350 million times. Daughtry last studio album released was Baptized. Daughtry tours all over the globe.
