Kodi Lee, the 22-year-old singer, was born with optic nerve hypoplasia and was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 4. His touching story aside, the singer captivates the audience with his musical renditions.

Kodi won Gabrielle's golden buzzer after he left the entire audience, including the judges, speechless and on their feet with his cover of "A song for you," by Donny Hathaway.

During the semi-finals of AGT, which hit the air Tuesday night, the singer got voted through to the finals and his mother, Tina, talked to People about her son.

"I think he's been holding this in to give it all to the world."
