The most amazing moment was when he was in fourth grade and he was in a musical. I didn’t know he could sing. And he comes out on the stage, and I’m so nervous. And he turns around and faces the audience and he puts his arms out and he starts to sing.
And I literally stood there with my mouth open because of his presence… He was just a natural. That’s when I knew there was something special about this kid.
