Daughtry is a pop rock band from the United States formed by former American Idol contestant, Chris Daughtry, in 2006. Their self-titled debut album was released on November 21, 2006 by RCA and 19 Entertainment.
Christopher Adam “Chris” Daughtry (born December 26, 1979) is an American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He was the fourth-place finalist on the highly publicized fifth season of American Idol, eliminated from the competition on May 10, 2006.
After his fallout from Idol, he was given a record deal by RCA Records. His self-titled debut album sold more than 1 million copies after just 5 weeks of release, becoming the fastest selling debut rock album in history.[1] In its ninth week of release, the album reached number one on the Billboard charts. Daughtry is the fourth most successful American Idol contestant in the history of the show, in terms of record sales, behind Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Clay Aiken. He is the most successful contestant from his season and the most successful non-winner or non-runner up. At the 50th Grammy Awards, he was nominated for Best Rock Song for “It’s Not Over”.
Though Daughtry, the lead singer of the band, is a songwriter, he still collaborated with several other songwriters, Live’s Ed Kowalczyk, Fuel’s Carl Bell, Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down, Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty and SR-71 singer Mitch Allan. Fellow bandmates include guitarist Josh Steely, drummer Joey Barnes, guitarist Brian Craddock, and bassist Josh “JP” Paul. Former member, Jeremy Brady, left the band in January 2007 to join a small North Carolina based band. In their debut album, a song is included featuring Slash made famous for his role in Guns N’ Roses.
