22 year old Kodi Lee is the latest internet sensation to come out of America’s Got Talent’s recent viral audition.
Lee, who has an impaired vision and also suffers from autism, touched the hearts of everyone sitting in the judges panel when he started to sing Leon Russel’s ‘A Song For You’ accompanied by a piano, during his audition for the show.
Supported by his family backstage, including his mother, it was the sight of a young man chasing his dreams despite all adversities, but also his spine-tingling soulful voice that landed him a golden buzzer from new judge Gabrielle Union.
“I’m going to remember this for the rest of my life,” Simon Cowell asserted, while the rest could be seen wiping their tears off.
