The Story of Kodi Lee | Beyond America's got talent

America's Got Talent has introduced viewers to many talented acts during its 14 seasons on the air. However, 23-year-old singer and pianist Kodi Lee might just be the best one of them all.

Kodi, who is blind and autistic, first captivated audiences with his flawless cover of Donny Hathaway's "A Song For You." which was originally written and performed by Leon Russell.

For Kodi, his journey began years before the magic of AGT and he has worked exceptionally hard to master his craft.
The oldest of three children for Eric and Tina Lee, Kodi currently lives in Lake Elsinore, California with his family.

His sister Kayla and brother Derek can be seen supporting Kodi backstage along with their parents during the audition. In addition to his family, Kodi also has another supporter that many AGT fans may recognize. His best friend Mikayla Phillips, who appeared on season 13 of America’s Got Talent. Mikayla also earned a golden buzzer during her appearance on the show and made it all the way to the semi-finals. The two regularly perform together, and he supported Mikayla throughout her AGT journey, just as she has done for him this time around.

Kodi was born with optic nerve hypoplasia, a visual disorder that has rendered him legally blind. A Youtube video posted by Kodi and his siblings explained that he has no vision in his left eye. He does have some slight vision in his right eye but it’s like trying to find a hole to look through in swiss cheese. At the age of 4, Kodi was diagnosed with autism and he also suffers from Addison’s disease, a potentially life-threatening condition caused when the adrenal glands don’t produce enough of the hormone cortisol.
