The premiere of "America’s Got Talent" aired recently. Being on air for 14 years, you would imagine the judges would have seen it all. But, one act took the stage who stole hearts in the audience and has now gone viral across the internet.

One 22-year-old, Kodi Lee, is a pianist and singer who happens to be autistic and blind. He has a fantastic ability to be able to recall and play a song after hearing it just once. There are only 24 other known people in the world that can do this. This ability is called audio photographic memory according to his website. 

Performing isn’t a new thing for Kodi. He has been playing for others for some years. But when he auditioned for AGT, he performed in front of his most massive crowd ever.

Kodi stunned viewers with his amazing performance, the crowd and judges were so blown away that they gave him the golden buzzer which sent the musician all the way to the live show. Now the 22-year-old singer put on another brilliant performance that yet again had everyone emotional. He sang "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Paul Simon while playing the piano. 

Gabrielle Union who gave Kodi the Golden Buzzer from his first performance told him after his most recent, "Who you are and what you stand for and what you continued to do makes the world such a better and so much more of a beautiful place," Gabrielle said. "We have to stop putting limits on our children. We have to keep believing in each other. Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey."

Kodi's mom also got teary-eyed after the performance while speaking with Entertainment Tonight. She said, "He has been working his butt off to get here and he's worked so hard, this is what he's always wanted to do. He's wanted to perform in front of thousands of people and this is in front of millions of people!"
