Chanteur Country US né Joel Philip Stacey, le 21 Janvier 1978 ŕ Richmond (Kentucky).
Phil
Stacey's first appearance on the sixth season of American Idol was a memorable
one, as it was revealed that the Navy officer was missing the birth of his
second daughter in order to audition for the show in Memphis. It was a memorable
introduction to the American public, presenting the Jacksonville, FL, native in
a very appealing light. Of course, it helped that Stacey -- age 29 at the start
of the show in 2007 -- had one of the strongest backstories of any of the Top 24
contestants. The son of a pastor, he had been singing in church since childhood
and continued to pursue music as an adult, taking lessons while he was in
college at Lee University. He married his wife, Kendra, who gave birth to their
daughters Chloe and Machaela (the latter being born the week of his AmIdol
audition), and he supported his family as a Naval officer, remaining on active
duty as he appeared on the TV show.
While he was in the Navy, he regularly sang and appeared in Navy-sponsored music
events, including an American Idol-styled competition that he won. Encouraged by
a friend, he auditioned for the show and made it from the Memphis rounds to
Hollywood, where he eventually made it into the Top 24 (the Navy reassigned him
to California so he could compete). The first week on the show, Stacey sang Edwin
McCain's "I Could Not Ask for More," which judge Randy Jackson proclaimed as
"hot!," elaborating that Stacey gave the best performance of the guys that week.
The second week brought a performance of John Waite's "Missing You," which was
praised by Jackson and fellow judge Paula Abdul, as well as the show's voting
public.
Stacey truly hit his stride during country week, which set the stage for his
subsequent career as a recording artist. Following Idol, he signed with Lyric
Street Records and began working on an album, the first single from which -- "If
You Didn't Love Me" -- was released to country stations early in 2008. His
self-titled debut followed in April. Stacey toured in support of the album and
returned to the studio several months later, where he chose to focus on his
Christian upbringing instead of the Nashville-influenced sounds of his debut.
Released in August 2009, Into the Light fused religious themes with pop/rock
songwriting.
