American Idol Profile Musical Influences: Our Lady Peace, Big Wreck. Hobbies: Word Nerd loves crosswords Band lead vocals & rhythm guitar in "Axium",
guitar and back-up vocals "Midwest Kings", Solo Artist History: David Cook helped form Axium while in high school in 1999.
Teaming up with his childhood friend, Bobby Kerr, the two began making music under the name Redeye.
It wasn't until 2001, after a chance meeting with 8STOPS7 lead singer Evan Sula-Goff that they
decided to change their name to Axium and begin to really delve into songwriting.
Jeff Shrout on guitar joined the band in the fall of 2001.
Axium disbanded as the boys finished school, and after graduation David moved to Tulsa, where
he played guitar and sang back-up vocals in a
friend's band called MWK, short for
Midwest Kings.
After awhile, David left MWK and started focusing more on
a solo career. In 2006, David released a
CD titled "Analog Heart," which won the Urban Tulsa
Album of the Year award. He put his UCM education to
good use by designing all the album artwork himself.
