Daughtry
Nominated For :Breakthrough Artist
Chris Daughtry first stole the American Idol stage with his rock star attitude and persona and now he is using the same ethnic powering for his equally charged band, Daughtry.
The players: bassist Josh Paul from LA, drummer Joey Barnes from North Carolina, guitarist Brian Craddock from Virginia, and guitarist Josh Steely from San Diego all complement and calibrate the front man, embodying the kind of seasoned give-and- take not usually associated with a new band.
Chris knew he had to commit to an intense audition process right from the start, determined to achieve that crucial bond between members. Daughtry zeroed in on the interpersonal chemistry and musical compatibility of the guys who would eventually eat, sleep and breathe Daughtry 24/7.
"The way it all has unfolded is everything an artist could ever ask for," says Chris. An understatement when you consider the challenges he laid down for himself before approaching the debut effort. "I knew going in that the album, the band, all of it had to start from my own vision. I've always known who I am and what kind of sound I wanted to get across, yet I never wanted to dictate any sort of path."
