He started playing the violin as a way to deal with being bullied in school. 



He received a standing ovation after playing “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson. Cowell called him an extraordinary young man. “You have such an amazing talent.” Then he hit his buzzer. He goes straight to the live shows in Hollywood.
