About Darius Rucker

Darius Rucker is best known as the lead singer of Hootie & the Blowfish. Born in Charleston, South Carolina, Rucker was deeply influenced by gospel, R&B, and country music from a young age. He formed Hootie & the Blowfish with his college friends in the late 1980s, and the band’s debut album “Cracked Rear View” became one of the best-selling albums of all time.

In 2008, Rucker embarked on a successful solo career in country music, which has since produced several chart-topping albums and numerous hit singles. He won a Grammy Award for Best Country Solo Performance for his song “Wagon Wheel” in 2014. Outside of music, Rucker is also an active philanthropist, supporting a variety of charitable causes, including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the MUSC Children’s Hospital in Charleston.
