Lee DeWyze, Season 9 Winner
Before Lee DeWyze won Season 9 of American Idol in 2010, he already had a career with his then band, the “Lee DeWyze Band,” who even had 2 albums under its belt. In fact, he was quite known already around his parts of Illinois. During his win, he beat out Crystal Bowersox, hoping to finally live his dream of being a full-time singer-songwriter, rather than remain at the paint store salesman job he had been doing in between gigs.
