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.

Of course he should if he is up to it!! He would win!!! I love Kodi Lee!!! <3
Kodi Lee is the most amazing musician I’ve ever seen. How can any idiot say he doesn’t make the songs his own? Jealous much?
I think he needs to not participate in the AGT the champions. He is already a champion to so many fans around the world. He needs rest and enjoy this win. Congratulations Kode~
No. Let him wait and enjoy his accomplishments.
hes kinda annoying. great singing voice but when hes not singing hes pretty annoying.
in all honesty if he feels he could dolt let him i am so proud of him and his ability to tackle what he wants !
No he has had enough. as a father of an autistic child i think Kodi has done very well. this is enough for him.
There is only one answer to that question. HECK YEAH!
Agree with Simon…
Whether he competes or not, God bless him and all his family eternally. I him as Jesus does. Be well, safe and happy, then walk complete in love.
I think his mom and family knows whats best for him, and it sounds like if he sets his mind to do it "he could do anything he wants!" this guy deserves to share his love for music and ya know what I think everybody is listening to whatever this guys got to share cause its amazing, beutiful.. In my opinion I would rather listen to kodi's Lee covers over the original artists because I think he makes them his own and better than original in my opinion.. ty kodi Lee family for everything, luv ur family, how you support one another, its inspiring👍👍
Kodi should compete as he is on a Roll and should enjoy the ride.
I have 30 years experience as a Pediatric RN. I have seen so many children/young adults with Kodi's issues. I have also witnessed the insurmountable stress and heartbreak each family must endure. My goodness, Kodi and his family are an example to others that may have the same or like issues the insight of possibilities. When I listen to Kodi my heart swells and I cry happy tears for him and his loving family. I have absolutely no doubt that His family will know what is best for Kodi. God bless you Kodi and thank-you for blessing all who see and hear your many talents. Warmest regards, Debbie from Tallahassee, FL
ABSOLUTELY he SHOULD compete on AGT The Champions!! I am a huge, huge fan and hope one day that he graces Atlanta, GA with his presence. At the end of the day, I would respect Kodi's decision because I am a huge fan. Thank you Kodi Lee for sharing you talent. God bless.
Kodi should go on to bigger things. He has a lot more in store and should first bask in this success and then explore other opportunities to shine and grow.
A great great inspiration
Simon is using his wisdom and knowledge to give solid advice. I agree with him. Kodi should relax and enjoy his accomplishment. He is awesome and we will be enjoying his music for years to come. Hats off to his parents.
HECK YEAH!! GOD BLESS KODI LEE!!! THE MOST INSPIRATIONAL MUSICIAN I’VE EVER HEARD AND EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE NEED RITE NOW! THANK YOU JESUS 🙏🙏🙏🙏
He needs to be heard by everyone that is not hearing impaired. He IS a message of hope..not just for musicians , but for humanity
If he thinks he can do it, he should do it. Don't hold him back in anything he wants to accomplish.
I think he should have his own show where we can listen to his music and look forward every week to another couple of songs. I like it when Sal and Kodi play songs for an hour. Do that every week.
So what if Kodi Lee covers other musicians' songs. Hell, Michael Bolton made an entire career out of doing just that!
If he wants to compete, then I'm okay with it. He is a very special young man and the world needs to hear him!
It's TOTALLY up to Kodi! Not anyone else, including Simon.
Q.
Kodi Lee has one of the most passionate singing voices I have ever heard. I felt every word he sang. We are all Blessed to be able to share his world with him. Thank You Kodi Lee for sharing your special talent with the world.
go for it Kody. I know you can win it !!! he's a gift from God !!! and God never takes back what he's given you. !! you touched the world. Every needs to hear Kody sing ! love ya.
He has a message that lights up the world. He is amazing and so loveable!
I think it would be best to give Kodi a break, allowing him ample time to enjoy his success to this point. Then, onward and upward!!!
Our opinion of weather he should or shouldn't matter. He's a very special person indeed and the choice should be up to him. No pressure. He's got more talent that I ever saw in just 1 person that's for sure. He truly is a genius and an inspiration to us all. He's wanted this for a long time and if he wants to do it, all the best to him. Weather he wins or loses is really not important at this stage as he has already reached a long time dream to be recognized. He captured our hears and souls. I'm no musical expert but I do feel a person's heart and emotions and this guy made me cry. It's not the words from any of the songs he sang that made me cry but the emotion in the words that came out. He can truly deliver any song ever written on earth with emotion and passion. This guy is a true genius. Well done!
Simon Cowell is majorly right more than he is wrong in his judgement.
Yes, I think Kodi Lee should go onto perform in future AGT competition! He is amazing and deserves to be at the top!!
absolutely yes. I
think he would win
Kodi is the champion. No need for any other competition.
Thank you for sharing this piece on Kodi!! Love this kid!!!
only if he wants it – and if he says he wants it then, "Hell Yeah!"
Kodi Lee is freakin Amazing I love his voice. Kodi is inspiration for everybody. Just look at him loved him since his fist audition I am a fan. Love watching and hear him sing. It’s crazy how talented he is despite his Autism and Blindness. Wow all I can say god truly blessed him with an amazing talented I’m just blown away God Bless you Kodi I’m such a fan and supportive of you.Also his mother is so beautiful a wonderful mom. 💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍💞❤️❤️❤️
I would go with simon's wisdom about this….maybe the followig year. It takes time to see this present experience through to ifs natural fulfillment….
