An 11-year-old North Carolina resident recently took the stage on America’s Got Talent and wowed everyone with his violin skills. Tyler’s performance was so skillful and delightful that it impressed the crowd in attendance and those watching at home.
Tyler was a remarkable child for more than one reason. When he was four years old, he was diagnosed with leukemia, and as a result, he began to learn how to play the violin. Tyler’s classmates would tease him because of his illness, but he didn’t let that stop him from excelling in his music.
The young Tyler found it challenging to deal with the therapy as he started to lose his hair. Tyler was teased at school because of it, and he struggled to cope with the changes in his appearance.
Tyler finally discovered his passion for music although some challenges he faced in school. He started taking violin lessons when he was seven years old and quickly fell in love with the instrument. Despite the early difficulties he faced, Tyler continued and is now a talented musician.
“I just practiced a lot,” he said. “I got better the more I practiced. It was just that of routine.
I find that the violin helps me forget about the bad things that happen to me.”
It’s amazing how one moment can change everything. When Tylor played “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger” on his violin, everyone fell in love with him. Even Simon Cowell became a devoted fan of his work.
Congratulations, Tyler! You did an excellent job, and we are all very proud of you.
