DAUGHTRY

Manages to gain great result in their first step into recording industry, DAUGHTRY sure is more than worthy to receive wide exposure directed to them that has been circulating around ceaselessly since the initial success of their self-titled debut album. For the month of November 2006 only, the band has already made a handful of TV appearances that included those on “Good Morning America”, “Live with Regis & Kelly”, and “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, all proving the media's enthusiasm in welcoming their arrival on the music scene. Next slated to be the presenter at Billboard Music Awards held on December 4 and performer at Southern Sports Awards on date 8, it seems the road ahead is nicely smooth enough for this newly-established rock act to undergo.

Hailed from North Carolina, DAUGHTRY is a quintet consisting of frontman Chris Daughtry (born Christopher Adam Daughtry on December 26, 1979 in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina) on vocals, Josh Steeley on lead guitar, JP Paul on bass guitar, Joey Barnes on drums, and Jeremy Brady on guitar. The idea to form the band was first developed by Chris following his decision to turn down the offer from Fuel to be the group's lead singer after he was voted off in the fourth place on the fifth season of “American Idol.” “I began my music career as a songwriter, but I've always believed in the power of a band,” he said, describing the reason behind the thought. “The great moments are when you're able to capture that extra special connection between members that you can't really define. That's what I'm striving for.”
