Early life
editFamily and education
editBorn February 4, 1977, DeGraw grew up inSouth Fallsburg, New York.[1][2]His mother, Lynne (née Krieger, 1951–2017), was adetox specialistnurse practitioner, and his father, John Wayne DeGraw, was acorrections officer;[3]he referenced his father's and mother's respective occupations in the song "I Don't Want to Be".[4]His father was ofIrishdescent and his mother was ofRussian Jewishancestry.[5][6]
Musical approach
editDeGraw began singing and playing piano at the age of eight. He has two older siblings: a sister, Neeka, and a brother,Joey(who is also a musician). Growing up in a musical family, he was raised to regard music as part of the fabric of everyday life rather than as a remote show-business ideal.[7]
As a teenager, DeGraw experienced a personal epiphany when he discoveredRay CharlesandSam Cooke,whose combination of personal charm and emotional commitment struck a chord in the budding musician.[7]DeGraw played in a localCatskillsgroup called "The People's Band" with his brother Joey and with local musician and vocalist Steven Levine, Bart and Hal Coopersmith. the band was named from his father's band when he was playing. The People's Band played many of the local hotels and clubs around theMonticelloarea. On his brother's advice, DeGraw began writing his own songs.[8]He attendedIthaca Collegeon a music scholarship, but found himself spending more time in his dorm room writing songs than attending classes and dropped out after one semester. DeGraw then moved toBoston,where he attended the prestigiousBerklee College of Musicfor two semesters while singing in a rock band and playing solo gigs on the side.[7]
Music career
editAfter leavingBerkleeand relocating toManhattanin March 1998, DeGraw laid the groundwork for a musical career. Within a few months of his arrival, DeGraw made his way into the Sunday night Ron Grant and Friends open-mike night at Wilson's (the noted Upper West Side restaurant inside the Lucerne hotel). The night manager, Shar Thompson, introduced DeGraw to the club's owner, Debbie Wilson, the next day. Wilson signed on as his manager. DeGraw began developing a reputation inNew York'smusic community.[7]DeGraw eventually signed a record deal withClive Davisand hisJ Recordsimprint, the home ofSantanaas well as R&B singersAlicia KeysandAngie Stone.[9][better source needed]
In the spring of 2002, DeGraw began work on his debut album. "I wanted to create something that was timeless rather than fashionable", he explained. "I was concerned with developing a sound that wasn't disposable. I didn't want to have too much glitter on me". The adjustment from the live stage to the recording studio was an educational process that gave DeGraw new insight into his work. "It made me think about making records differently," he says. "At first I felt out of my element because you have to learn the language and the science of making a record. It's a real process to get to the point where it doesn't sound like it's a process. We worked at making it breathe".[7][failed verification]The album, entitledChariot,was recorded atSunset Soundin Los Angeles and produced byMark Endert.[1][better source needed]
