Danny Gokey finished as the second runner-up on the 8th season of American Idol.
Four weeks before he auditioned for American Idol, Gokey's wife, Sophia Martinez, passed away after undergoing routine surgery for congenital heart disease. The couple had been together for 12 years and he credits her for his success. Sophia was a fan of American Idol and encouraged Gokey to be a contestant.
Danny Gokey auditioned for American Idol in Kansas City, Missouri. During his run, Gokey was known for his powerful vocals, energetic stage demeanor and his soulful, emotional renditions of songs.
Gokey was eliminated during Top 3 week despite his high-rated performance of Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful," which reduced judge Paula Abdul to tears when he reprised it after being eliminated.
During the season 8 finale on May 20, 2009, Gokey performed a duet with r&b superstar Lionel Richie. The performance opened with Gokey singing a true-to-the-original solo of Richie's "Hello" and was followed by Richie joining Gokey for a duet of his hits "Just Go" and "All Night Long".
Gokey plans to start recording an R&B album during the Summer of 2009 and continue working for the foundation he helped start in his wife’s memory, Sophia’s Heart. Gokey, known for his many pairs of eyeglasses that he often wore on the show, has stated he may start an eyewear line to help raise funds for his foundation.
A devout Christian, Gokey started singing with his family at Faith Builders Ministries in Milwaukee, where he has served as worship director.
