Darius Rucker's transition from adult-contemporary radio mainstay into country music superstar is complete. He was just awarded the best new artist award at the CMA Awards. Maybe now people will finally stop calling him Hootie.
Rucker was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, and his family history there goes back generations. His single mother Carolyn, who was a nurse, raised him with his five siblings: three sisters and two brothers. According to Rucker, his father was "never around" and Rucker only saw him before church on Sundays; his father was in a gospel band called The Rolling Stones. Rucker has said that he had a "typical Southern, African-American upbringing." His family attended church every Sunday, were economically poor and, at one point, his mom, her two sisters, his grandmother and 14 children were all living in a three-bedroom home. However, he says that he looks back on his childhood "with very fond memories." His sister, L'Corine, recalled that singing "was always his dream."
