"I happen to be a guy who
also plays the piano and sings, so people automatically associate me with <a href="/biography/billy-joel">Billy
Joel</a>."

- Gavin DeGraw, an American <a href="/biography/gavin-degraw">musician</a>, singer, song-writer and ex-music jammin bar co-owner.
 Then Berklee dropout was enjoying
small praises from small crowds and audiences when he landed an open mic gig at
the famous ballroom Wilson's located in Manhattan. Amazingly, he becomes the
new sensation after mesmerizing big crowd present at Wilson's.

Ultimately, his Wilson's performance
leads him to a big deal by a major record label, but he declines the offer trying
to make music on his own out of freedom, taking on normal jobs to meet his
needs side by side. Later, he eventually signs with <a href="/biography/clive-davis">Clive Davis</a> accepting the
suggestion of his manager Debbie Wilson, the noted Upper Side ballroom "Wilson's"
owner.

Growing up in a musical family means
that you derive music in your blood. Not surprisingly, Gavin started playing piano
and singing on his own at the age of 8. Inspired by figures such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Charles">Ray Charles</a>
and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Cooke">Sam Cook</a>, teenage Gavin began to play with cover bands alongside his musician
older brother Joey, who first advised him to write his own music.

Inspiringly, he has proudly  referenced occupation of his parents in his song "I Don't Want to Be".  If you may, he is a proud <a href="/biography/gavin-degraw">son</a> of
a prison gurad father and detox specialist mother. He has never forgotten his
roots and family support.

Now fast forward to 2016, he is
<a href="/biography/gavin-degraw">someone</a> who is one of the biggest names in the American pop rock. His songs
have been featured in various famous television and movies. Nonetheless, he has
collaborated with many famous big names and if that's not enough, he is a
regular on every major talk show you could ever imagine.

American musician and <a href="/biography/gavin-degraw">songwriter</a>
Gavin is best known for his hit albums such as platinum hit Chariot, <a href="/biography/gavin-degraw">Gavin
DeGraw</a>, Free, Sweeter and Make a Move.  Importantly,
Gavin specializes in blue eyed soul, pop rock and rock. Some of his notable
singles include I Don't Want To Be (Became One Tree Hill's nostalgic theme
song),Chariot, Follow Through, In Love With A Girl, Not Over You, Solidier,
Sweeter and Best I Ever Had.

For instance, Kevin's Not Over
You has 19,862,859 view on Yotube and I Don't Want to Be has 15,306046  views on Youtube. That's how popular he and
his high pitched voice led hear touching songs are. No wonder, he enjoys a
staggering net worth of 11 million US dollars. 
Nevertheless, he also
participated in Season 14, Dancing With the Stars paring with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karina_Smirnoff">pro</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karina_Smirnoff">Karina Smirnoff</a>,

Less people know that he dropped
out of Ithaca College in spite of being a student enrolled on a music scholarship.
He used to opt out classes during his Ithaca days to stay in his dorm room to
write songs. He later even attended Berklee College of Music. Again, he opted
out of his classes to peruse music all by himself. He passed his Berkley days
playing and singing with a rock band and later moved to Manhattan to pursue
music on his own.

Now moving on to his physique, Gavin is a tall
<a href="/biography/gavin-degraw">man</a> with the height of 5 feet and 11 inches. Impressively, the American singer
of Irish and Russian Jewish ethnicity is rich in both looks and vocal range.

Talking about his relationship
status, his past to present dating status has not been revealed yet. Therefore,
we cannot say whether he is dating his loving girlfriend, enjoying a lovely
married life with his wife or staying single to focus solely on his career.
