Who is Daughtry

Daughtry is an American rock band.

Daughtry is often mistakenly believed to be a Chris Daughtry solo project; however - in a manner similar to Van Halen, Bon Jovi, and Dio - Daughtry is a band, taking Chris Daughtry's surname as their moniker. In an interview, he explained, "We could've come out with a really obscure name, but coming from the TV show and having name recognition, it was easier just to go with my last name." He also joked, "Steel Dragon would have been great. Rainbow Butt Monkeys would have also been great, but that was taken."
