WITI-TV - Milwaukee's hometown American Idol Danny Gokey was in Los Angeles Tuesday, promoting his debut country album.

Gokey won the hearts of America on Season 8 of the hit FOX show, American Idol.

In an interview with KTLA, Gokey said not much had changed for him, except now he was, "Danny Gokey, the artist" instead of an American Idol contestant.
