Since Idol, third-place finisher Danny Gokey has gone country.
“I moved to Nashville the day the (Idols Live) tour was over,” says Gokey, 29. “It’s funny how life works out and how the pieces fall in the right place.”
Gokey’s debut album, My Best Days, was released March 2 on 19 Recordings/RCA Nashville and landed at No. 4 on Billboard’s album chart, selling 65,000 copies in its first week. Lead single My Best Days Are Ahead of Me was released to country radio in December and cracked the top 40. He’ll tour with Sugarland this spring and appeared on Idol last week.
It was his experience on Idol and a conversation with guest mentor Randy Travis that made the gospel singer consider Nashville as a career option.

Danny added his signature and his hand print to the roof of his house. It’s a one-of-a-kind, autographed piece of art and it goes to the highest bidder!The winner will also receive two tickets and two meet and greet passes to any Danny Gokey concert in 2010!

The City Paper (Nashville, TN): ‘American Idol’ contestant bringing heart to Metro schools
Former American Idol contestant Danny Gokey attributes much of his success in the music industry to his late wife, Sophia, who succumbed to congenital heart disease in 2008.
It was her love and support that encouraged him to audition for American Idol, and after her passing, he decided to create a living demonstration of her love.
His answer was the Sophia’s Heart Foundation, an outreach for children from ages 0-18, which will begin offering free after-school music programs in Nashville.
Sophia’s Heart is launching a Modern Community Choir that will unite young performers, teach them about music, introduce students to different cultures and provide after-school homework assistance.
To kick off the program, Gokey will visit Apollo and Kennedy middle schools Thursday to share his story. And, he might even sing a tune from new album, My Best Days, that was released last week.
The program, which will meet three days per week and offer free transportation, hopes to attract 20 students from each school.
