Phil Stacey's first appearance on the sixth season of #American Idol was a memorable one: it was revealed that the Navy officer was missing the birth of his second daughter in order to audition for the show in Memphis. It was a memorable introduction to the American public, presenting the Jacksonville, FL, native in a very appealing light. Of course, it helped that Stacey -- age 29 at the start of the show in 2007 -- had one of the strongest back-stories of any of the Top 24 contestants in the 2007 #American Idol. The son of a pastor, he had been singing in church since he was a child and continued to pursue music as an adult, taking lessons while he was in college. He married his wife, %Kendra, who gave birth to their daughters %Chloe and %Machaela (the latter being born the week of his #AmIdol audition), and he supported his family as a Naval officer, remaining on active duty as he appeared on the TV show.
