Early life

McCreery was born in 1993 to Judy (née Cooke) and Michael McCreery in Garner, North Carolina.[2][3] His mother works as a real estate agent, [4] and his father works as a manufacturing systems analyst.[5] His father was born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico to a Puerto Rican mother from San Juan and an American father.[6] His mother is the daughter of a retired school teacher from Gates County, NC. McCreery used to impersonate Elvis as a child, and started learning guitar at age ten.[7] He attended Timber Drive Elementary School in Garner,[5] and later West Lake Middle School where he sang at his graduation. He also attended Garner Magnet High School[8] where he joined a vocal ensemble, Die Meistersingers, that performs across the United States.[9] He started out singing tenor but switched to bass when his voice became lower in his sophomore year.[9]

McCreery won a singing contest called "Clayton Idol" at the Clayton Harvest Festival in Clayton, North Carolina,[10] and was one of 36 finalists in a "Rip the Hallways" contest featuring teenage vocalists in North Carolina.[7] He has performed at various local events.[11] He also attended Caswell Youth Retreat in the summer of 2009, and participated in the talent show there singing Long Black Train by Josh Turner. [12]

American Idol

Overview

McCreery auditioned for the tenth season of American Idol in Milwaukee. The judges were struck by his deep bass voice unusual for his age. In the Hollywood group round, he joined the "Guaps" and became embroiled in the drama when fellow group member Clint Jun Gamboa expelled Jacee Badeaux from the group. He later expressed regret for not standing up for Jacee. He was one of the five male vote getters in the semi-final round to advance to the Top 13. In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, McCreery confirmed that he has Puerto Rican ancestry. "Yes, I'm Puerto Rican," said McCreery with a smile. "I have a little bit of J.Lo in me."[13] McCreery was never in the bottom 2 or 3 during the season joining past winners Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, David Cook, and Lee DeWyze. During Scotty's top 3 homecoming day, Garner Mayor Ronnie Williams gave Scotty the key to the town of Garner and officially made May 14 "Scotty McCreery Day." [14] McCreery won the tenth season of American Idol on May 25, 2011.
