As the son of a guitar player/singer and the younger brother of recording artist Joey DeGraw, Gavin DeGraw's destiny was set in stone. He's from Fallsburg, NY, a really small town in the Catskill Mountains. He began to take piano lessons at the early age of eight, singing with the family the whole time. In the early years, Gavin and Joey played together in a cover band, with the occasional fatherly sit in. Encouraged by his brother, Gavin began to write his own songs at the age of about 16.
