Darius Rucker is a country artist who was born on May 13, 1966 in Charleston, SC. Growing up, Darius Rucker lived in a three-bedroom house with his mother, two aunts, grandmother and 14 siblings and cousins. His childhood dream was always to become a professional singer.

While in college at the University of South Carolina, Darius Rucker met future Hootie & the Blowfish bandmates. After a period of playing cover music, Hootie & the Blowfish independently released demo EPs in 1991, 1992, and 1993. Some tracks from their 1993 EP, Kootchypop were rereleased on later albums.

After signing with Atlantic Records, Hootie & the Blowfish released their debut studio album, Cracked Rear View in 1994. The album was an instant success, becoming the highest-selling album of 1995 and going platinum 16 times in the United States. The band went on to release five studio albums, before going on hiatus in 2008.

While still making music with Hootie & the Blowfish, Darius Rucker launched his solo career in 2001, when he recorded the R&B album, Back to Then. Knowing he eventually wanted to make country music, Darius Rucker signed to Capitol Records Nashville in 2008. Since then, Darius Rucker has released five country albums, most recently Southern Style in 2015. Darius Rucker usually spends the summer months touring for fans across the country.

Artist Info

As the frontman of Hootie & the Blowfish, Darius Rucker was one of the most popular frontmen in mainstream pop/rock during the mid-'90s. The band's debut album, Cracked Rear View, was virtually inescapable in 1995, eventually selling more than 16 million copies and becoming one of the most successful albums of all time. Hootie & the Blowfish couldn't re-create that magic on future albums, though, and the band took a break from the studio after releasing 1998's Musical Chairs. Rucker used his free time to launch a solo career, which allowed the singer to explore his R&B and country influences.
Growing up in Charleston, South Carolina, Rucker was exposed to the sounds of Otis Redding, Al Green, and Gladys Knight at an early age. Those R&B icons helped influence Hootie & the Blowfish's recordings, all of which featured Rucker's soulful baritone at the forefront, but it wasn't until his solo career that Rucker truly paid homage to the sounds of his youth. He initially planned to launch his solo career with The Return of Mongo Slade, which was scheduled for a summer 2001 release by Atlantic Records, but contractual changes prevented the album's release. A few months later, Rucker jumped ship for Hidden Beach Recordings, which then acquired the master recordings of his debut from Atlantic.
After making a cameo in the Farrelly brothers' film Shallow Hal, Rucker introduced his mellow, R&B-influenced music with 2002's Back to Then (essentially The Return of Mongo Slade with a different title), which featured collaborations with Jill Scott and Snoop Dogg. Rucker then returned his focus to Hootie & the Blowfish, releasing two albums with the group during the early 2000s before revisiting his solo career. This time, he opted for a country approach, and the twangy Learn to Live found an appropriate home among country music fans, who sent both the album and its flagship single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It," to the top of the Billboard country charts. "It Won't Be Like This for Long" and "Alright" also peaked at number one, pushing the album to platinum status within a year of its release. Rucker smartly stayed in the country mold for his follow-up album, Charleston, SC 1966, which appeared in fall 2010; it also spawned two number one singles in "Come Back Song" and "This." His third solo album in a country vein, True Believers, followed in early 2013 and it generated a massive hit in the form of "Wagon Wheel," a number one country single that crossed over to 15 on the pop charts on its way to triple-platinum certification. As he prepped a fourth country album, Rucker released the "Homegrown Honey" single in the fall of 2014, along with the seasonal album Home for the Holidays. Southern Style appeared in March 2015.
