His audition and story about his undying love for his fiance Juliana Ramos went viral and captivated people all around the world. Since his departure from the show, his 1st single "What Are Words", written by Rodney Jerkins, Andre Lindal, and Lauren Christy went on to break the Top 100 in the United States, landing at #83, Quadruple Platinum in Norway and Double Platinum in Sweden. He continues to write music not only for his fiance but also for his fans.
