Season 3's Jon Peter Lewis, or JPL as his fans affectionately know him, took some time after Idol to compose his debut album slowly and gradually, refusing to give into any bubblegum pop machine and instead wrote very reflective, soulful acoustic tracks. "Stories From Hollywood" spurned two singles but was only released limitedly, but his second album, "Breaking The Silence," which was released in 2008 was a collaboration with well-known musicians to back up his songwriting and vocal talent. It received a Critic's Choice review from Billboard Magazine and the title track has the distinguished honor of being one of only fifty songs that is programmed into Apple iPhones on display in stores all across the country. It's a far cry from the somewhat goofy, gap-toothed grinning dancing JPL became famous for on his season!
