His first album, Chariot, was released in July 2003, but did not receive much attention until one of its songs, "I Don't Want to Be," was chosen as the theme for One Tree Hill. The album was repackaged the following year as a "stripped" version, with just DeGraw and a small band recording the songs in one studio take.
He has made frequent TV appearances, doing cameo spots on Dead Like Me as well as One Tree Hill, and has made several music videos, including one directed by Zach Braff.
On May 6, 2008, DeGraw released his self-titled second album, featuring the lead single "In Love With a Girl."
