Kodi Lee is an American singer-songwriter and pianist who rose to fame in 2019 when he won America’s Got Talent.
Lee, who is legally blind, cemented himself a place in the hearts of the American public right from his very first performance. For his audition, he was singing in front of judges Howie Mandel, Gabrielle Union, Julianne Hough and, of course, Simon Cowell.
As soon as Lee’s song came to an end, Gabrielle Union slammed her hand down on the Golden Buzzer without a moment’s hesitation.
