Lee DeWyze won the ninth season of American Idol in 2009. He's from Mount Prospect, Illinois, and his debut album 'So I'm Standing There' came out the following year. That record included 'Blackbird's Song,' which got some radio play.
He's put out other albums like 'Pieces,' 'Frames,' and 'Parachute' since then. Some of his songs, like 'Same For You' and 'A Song About Love,' show the kind of straightforward, acoustic-leaning writing he does.
In 2019, DeWyze talked publicly about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He's mentioned artists like Bob Dylan and Ray LaMontagne as influences.
