Early Life

Dierks Bentley was born Frederick Dierks Bentley on November 20, 1975, in Phoenix, Arizona. He is the son of Catherine Childs and Leon Fife Bentley. His father, who passed away in 2012, served as a First Lieutenant during World War II and later became the vice president of a bank. "Dierks" was Bentley's maternal great-grandmother's last name. Dierks studied at Indiana's Culver Academies, and after graduating from New Jersey's Lawrenceville School in 1993, he enrolled at the University of Vermont. After a year, he transferred to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, graduating in 1997.

Career

Bentley took a job at The Nashville Network (which later became the Paramount Network), where he researched footage of old country performances. According to "Whiskey Riff," "Because the network was located on Opryland grounds, he was in constantly close proximity to the Opry House every day, and he began sneaking over to hang out backstage with the artists who were set to perform at night." This led to Dierks being banned from the Grand Ole Opry, but the ban was lifted in 2003 after the release of his first album. After Bentley signed with Capitol Nashville, his debut self-titled album was released on August 19, 2003, and it reached #4 on the "Billboard" Top Country Albums chart and #26 on the "Billboard" 200 chart. The Platinum album featured the single "What Was I Thinkin'," which went 2× Platinum and reached #1 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Songs chart and #22 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart. Dierks' second album, 2005's "Modern Day Drifter," reached #1 on the Top Country Albums chart and #6 on the "Billboard" 200 chart, and it was certified Platinum in the U.S. and Gold in Canada. The singles "Come a Little Closer" and "Settle for a Slowdown" reached #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart and #3 on the Canada Country chart, and "Lot of Leavin' Left to Do" reached #1 on the Canada Country chart and #3 on the Hot Country Songs chart.
