David Cook is a 25 year old singer from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He auditioned in his hometown in front of the American Idol judges who were impressed with his big, rock and roll voice. David Cook has been performing on stage with bands for years, and is therefore very comfortable in front of crowds. In the Hollywood rounds, Cook showed off his guitar playing in addition to his great voice.
David Cook says that the toughest obstacle in his life was "Being confident enough in myself to chase this whole music thing." However, he draws inspiration from his brothers and is armed with his lucky charm, his left arm tattoo.
He says that his proudest moment so far was "graduating from college" and that he doesn't think he has much of an edge in American Idol, just that he strives to always be himself. However, if he doesn't make it in the competition, he says, "I'll probably go back home and milk the starving musician racket a little while longer."
David's goals in life, he says, "revolve around being happy. It's all about the journey." He admits that he does have other talents, saying, "I am an expert television watcher. I can also sleep and eat like nobody's business." In fact, this self-confessed "weird" guy says that if he couldn't sing, he would probably have "The ability to fly or culinary skills."
