Darius Rucker is an American musician. He first gained fame as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of
the rock band
Hootie & the Blowfish,
which he founded in 1986 at the University of South Carolina
along with Mark Bryan, Jim "Soni" Sonefeld and Dean Felber.
He released a solo R&B album, Back to Then, in 2002 on Hidden Beach Recordings but did not chart any
singles from it. Six years later, Rucker signed to Capitol Records Nashville as a country music artist,
releasing the album Learn to Live that year.
In 2009, he became the first African American to win the New Artist Award from the Country Music Association,
and only the second African American to win any award from the association.

"You see a lot of people doing a one-off, saying, 'This is my country record.' But this is a career I'm
trying to build. The people that say that they don't get it, I'll let the music speak for itself.
I plan to do a lot of country records."
