Sean McGee felt no one understood him until he shared his feelings on the Internet.
McGee turned his teenage sadness, loneliness and confusion into "My Story," a song he wrote in 2007 while he lived out of a friend's car and bounced between friends' houses.
The lyrics describe how he felt after the death of his grandmother, who taught him how to sing, and the divorce of his parents. Lyrics also provide insight into the period in his life when he was homeless.
The 20-year-old Sandusky native posted the song on MySpace, the social-networking site. Now, more than 16 million hits later, the crooner has become an Internet celebrity.
