Few children at the age of nine can truly describe what they hope to accomplish when
they become an adult. In reality, few adults can say their childhood dreams have come
true at all. But for Daryle Singletary, he is living his childhood dream, and enjoying every
second! He knows that he is “one of the fortunate few” to be where he is today.
Daryle comes by his love of traditional country music honestly. A native of Whigham,
Georgia, his great-grandmother was a fiddle player and his parents were part of a
gospel group. Through growing up in a family that sang Southern Gospel music, Daryle
developed a deep passion for the great singers from the gospel music genre. As with
many great vocalists, the gospel influence created a solid foundation for traditional
country singers and music, which has been the cornerstone of Daryle’s career. "I grew
up singin' gospel music, but always was a big fan of traditional country music.” Daryle
won his first talent show in fifth grade, and he was winning them regularly in high
school. He had his own band in 9th grade, which was about the time the older girls on
choral bus trips were asking him to sing for them. Daryle was quickly sold on singing as
a career possibility.
