Check out my backstage interview with Lee DeWyze, winner of American Idol Season 9. Lee DeWyze was a 24 year old contestant from Mount Prospect, Illinois when he tried out for American Idol. His big break came when he auditioned as part of Season 9 in Chicago, and quickly became a favorite of the panel, especially Simon Cowell. During his time on the show DeWyze performed a number of pop hits including Fireflies by Owl City, Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol and Lips of an Angel by Hinder. His contemporary sound and easy going personality quickly made him a front runner to win the show. DeWyze eventually made it to the finale, where he faced off against Crystal Bowersox in front of over 30 million viewers. More than 100 million votse were registered before it was announced that Lee DeWyze had won Season 9 of American Idol. Soon after winning it was announced that Lee DeWyze had signed to RCA Records and would be releasing his debut album later that year. Live It Up! is set to hit stores November 16th and features the hit single Sweet Serendipity.Subscribe and check back soon for more American Idol interviews with Andrew Garcia, Michael Lynche, Katie Stevens and Siobhan Magnus. — BryanStars is a 20 year old music blogger dedicated to bringing you exclusive interviews and behind the scenes video with your favorite bands and artists.
