William Tongi will appear in the brand-new and exciting season of American Idol 2024. The contestant moved the judges to tears with his heartbreaking story of losing his father a few months before his audition, as the 18-year-old Hawaiian showcased his singing talent in front of the judges during the audition round. The gifted young man specializes in folk-indie love songs.
Despite his young age, the American Idol contestant has already released a single called Dreams in 2020. Tongi wrote it specifically for his sister’s wedding. Tongi’s sister told him about her and her now-husband, her then-fiancé, and turned it into a lovely love song.
Tongi is a senior at Washington State’s Decatur High School. Tongi became interested in music after receiving ukulele lessons from an instructor in the fifth grade. William then took up his guitar and began to play.
Although singer/songwriter Lauren Gruwell describes his music as a mix of country and alternative, Tongi claims that listeners frequently compare it to an island. Tongi also plays guitar and ukulele.
