WISN.com: ‘American Idol’s’ Danny Gokey Working With Foundation

Watch the video HERE.

In less than a year, Danny Gokey has gone from an unknown music teacher to a household name.
“The last year has been like a tornado. It’s a whirlwind. Things have been going 90 to nothing,” Gokey said.
The Milwaukee native finished in third place on “American Idol”.
He’s just over a month away from releasing his debut album.
With his record label in Nashville, Gokey is finding a balance between his personal and professional lives.
“Just purchasing a house actually in Milwaukee. I’m going to live between Nashville and Milwaukee because of my foundation,” Gokey said.
The foundation was named after his wife, Sophia, who died following a battle with heart disease.
Gokey calls music a universal language, a way to enhance learning.
Music and the arts are part of the Sophia Heart Foundation.
“It’s just been an amazing experience. And I’m just so excited for what has happened. I can’t complain. If I were to complain, someone slap me,” Gokey said.
Gokey’s new single is already out.
His first album will be released March 2.
