Lee DeWyze is a singer songwriter who was the 2010 winner of American Idol. Unlike most American Idol winners, Lee already had a career as a performer prior to winning. As a result he was able to continue his recording career with Vanguard Records after his Idol moment. His song Blackbird Song was featured in an episode of the popular television series The Walking Dead and he has appeared as an actor in such low budget horror films as Circling The Drain and Deadscapes: Broken Road. With widespread touring and a large and active social media following (140,000 Facebook followers; 94,000 Twitter followers), Lee maintains a passionate fan base.
