Gary LeVox (born Gary Wayne Vernon, Jr.; July 10, 1970) is the lead vocalist of American (United States) country (Country music) trio Rascal Flatts. His stage name (LeVox) literally means "The Voice", a name he lifted from the studio-console label for his lead-vocal track.
LeVox was born in Columbus (Columbus, Ohio), Ohio. Before he became famous, he worked at Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities in downtown Columbus. Garys first musical performance was at the age of eight, in a play at his church. Gary graduated from Olentangy High School and is an alumnus of Ohio State University. Prompted by his cousin, LeVox moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1997. LeVox and his second cousin, Jay DeMarcus, started out together in Chely Wrights band. One day, when the regular guitarist wasnt available, Joe Don Rooney stepped in. The three men say they felt the chemistry immediately.
