And what do you want to be
when you grow up?

I actually don't really
have much of an idea.

Well, what are you
gonna do for us?

I'm just gonna do
a quick Rubik's Cube act.

You make it sound
so much more exciting

Do you think
you can win this contest?

We're not checking you out.

Or desk.

[laughter]

Do you want to talk
to the concierge?

[laughter]

All right, so, in front
of the four of you,

there's a Rubik's Cube.

Could all of you
please scramble them up

as much as you would like?

-Like, whatever we want?
-Yes.

Okay.

You know what I used to do?

When I couldn't figure it out,

I would take
all the stickers off

-and re-stick them.
-Ah.

-Okay, I'm good.
-Okay.

All right, now that
these Rubik's Cubes

are all scrambled up,

I'm gonna do something

I am 19 years old.

I'm from Crowley, Texas.

And I sing.

I'm a singer.
Ay, ay, ay.

[laughter]

So two years ago,
in quarantine,

I got really bored,
and I was like,

"You know what?
I love coffee

and any other drink
that I make,"

so I started recording myself
in my kitchen,

making protein shakes
and singing...

Aah!

And then also
just annoying my family.

I'm here with my parents,
my mom and my dad.

-So I sing.
-Yes.

And I make drinks
and videos of me singing.

-At the same time?
-Yes.

-Yeah.
-Okay, that's interesting.

I just really
kind of just share my life--

What kind of drinks?

Like, matcha, coffee,
protein shakes.

-Yeah.
-Yeah!

-Those kind of drinks.
-Yeah.

[cheers and applause]

Why have you decided

to come from there to here now?

I tried getting a job
at Home Depot,

and I was like, "You know what?
I want to sing," you know?

[cheers and applause]

I don't want to not believe in
myself and not try, you know?

What's the big dream?

To inspire people,

to make them feel that

you don't have to be
anything else but yourself.

I don't have to be the
industry standard, you know?

I like that.

Well, I don't think
the industry

have got any idea
what the standard is,

-if I'm being honest with you.
-Yes.

-All right, Kristen.
-Best of luck.

-We're all rooting for you.
-Thank you so much.

Thank you.

completely self-taught.

from watching YouTube videos.

-What's your name, please?

-My name is Kieran Rhodes.
-I am 20 years old.

And I am
from Burnt Hills, New York.

-Okay, Kieran.
-Tell us about you.

So I was a baseball player

-my whole life...
-Yeah.

And I was planning
to play baseball in college.

And then when high school
came around, freshman year,

I had this sudden urge
to learn how to play music,

so I sat down at the piano,

and I watched
some YouTube videos.

And I learned
who Billy Joel was,

and I saw what he was doing,
and I was like,

"That's what I want to do
for the rest of my life."

And I taught myself
how to play piano.

I taught myself how to sing.

And then I taught myself
how to write songs.

And then
four years later,

I got accepted
into Berklee College of Music.

-Wow.
-Thank you.

Wow.

And that's
where I go to school now.

So what's the percentage
of people who are self-taught

at a school like that?

-Not many.
-Not many at all.

It's very, actually,
intimidating being there,

'cause so many people there
have been training

their whole lives
to go to that school,

and it's everything to them,

but, you know, I just try
and remember who I am

and, you know, why I'm there
and, you know, what I do.

[chuckles]

So I'm really curious why
you decided to come on "AGT."

I think "AGT"
is the best place

for me to introduce myself
to the world.

-I like that.
-Yeah.

-Okay.
-Well, we can't wait.

-Good luck.
-Thank you so much.

Are you gonna sing
a Billy Joel song?

-Yes, I am.
-I am.

-He's very shy and nervous.
-Yeah.

-Young.
-It's interesting.

So you write your own songs.

I do write my own songs.

-Have you got one with you?
-Sure.

It's called "Disengage."

And what's it about?

I wrote this song
last semester in the fall.

I went through a lot
of depression during that time.

And I wrote this song
trying to get through that,

and I hope that
it can resonate with you.
