Iam Tongi Lyrics
William "Iam" Guy Tongi (born September 1, 2004)[1] is an American singer who won season 21 of American Idol.
He is the first Hawaii-born Pacific Islander, as well as the first non-country singer in three years, to win the competition.
Tongi auditioned for American Idol's 2022 season, but failed to get past the initial screening. Without telling him, his mom then signed him up for the 2023 season auditions.
Tongi's audition, a deeply touching rendition of James Blunt's song "Monsters" which he dedicated to his dad, brought all three judges to tears and earned him a unanimous vote to the next round. The audition video quickly went viral, drawing 112,000 Instagram followers in the two days after Tongi's performance.
A few days prior to Idol’s season finale, Tongi released the single "I'll Be Seeing You.” The single rapidly climbed the iTunes charts, reaching the top spot within days after its release.-Wikipedia
