from Wisconsin
American Idol contestant in 2009, 3rd place
first album was with a country label
left the label to sign to BMG's contemporary Christian branch
he had been a church choir director before AI
4 albums later that's still where he is
Christian influenced lyrics here but not overboard
a little too poppy overall for me
single
