Country US né Daniel Jay Gokey, le 24 Avril 1980 à Milwaukee (Wisconsin). Danny Gokey a
remporté la troisième place de la huitième saison d'American Idol. Après
l'émission, Gokey signa chez 19 Recordings et RCA Records Nashville débutant
ainsi sa carrière. Il sort son premier single "My Best Days Are Ahead of Me" en
2009. S'en suivra son premier album My Best Days en mars 2010.
Although
he largely stuck to gospel and soul music during his time on American Idol,
Danny Gokey transformed himself into a country artist following the show’s
conclusion. Born on April 24, 1980, in Milwaukee, WI, he was raised in a large
family and began singing during weekly church services. Gokey’s interest in
religion and music continued to shape his adolescence, and he became the music
director of Faith Builders International Ministries during his mid-twenties.
Meanwhile, he married his high-school sweetheart, a fellow churchgoing music fan
named Sophia Martinez, and lived with her for four years.
In 2008, Martinez underwent surgery for congenital heart disease and died during
the operation. An enthusiastic fan of American Idol, she had asked Gokey to
audition for the show on several occasions. He ultimately auditioned that summer
-- a mere four weeks after her passing -- and became one of the show’s early
frontrunners, sailing through each round with his gruff, soulful Vocals and tear-jerking
back-story. Gokey ultimately finished third in the competition, with only Adam
Lambert and Kris Allen receiving more votes. The American Idols LIVE! Tour kept
him busy until September 2009, at which point he signed with 19 Recordings (in
conjunction with RCA Nashville) and set to work on a country album. His first
single, “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me,” peaked at number 29 on the country
charts, and he rang in the New Year by releasing a full-length record, My Best
Days, in early 2010.
