Kodi Lee has wowed the world with this encouraging performance.

Lee, at 22 years old, is blind and autistic but loves to express himself through music. 

On the America's Got Talent (AGT) stage, Lee's mother says, "We found that he loved music really early on. He listened and his eyes just went huge and he started singing. That's when I realized - I was just in tears because, that's when I realized, oh my gosh, he's an entertainer."

Lee's mother explains that music helps Lee live in this world because it is hard to the things that everybody else does when you are autistic.

 

Julianne Hough, an AGT judge, said to Lee after his performance, "Everybody needs a voice. I really feel your heart, your passion, your voice blew all of us away. I just want to say that I heard you and I felt you and that was beautiful."

Lee earned a golden buzzer from judge Gabrielle Union that will now send him straight to the live shows in August.
