I am 76 years old and lived through the times of great singers like Israel Kamakavivaole, Kealii Reichel, too many to mention. Thank God that I'm Tongi has come along with his incredibly wonderful and powerful voice.

Iam encountered James Blunt’s “Monster” that James composed when his own father was near death. Children would universally claim to the parents (or grandparents or any caregiver) of their fear of “monsters under their bed”. Whether it’s real fear or smart excuse to delay their sleep time. And parents would give the kids comfort by “chasing the monsters away”. The song resonates not only to Iam but to the countless many. Iam unified many by giving us permission to break free from the shell of our grief, to take ownership of healing, to unashamedly share our grief, to embrace role-reversal in life. So yessah, Iam, it’s your and our turn to chase the monsters away!

Iam is at CMA Fest currently. He was on my daughter's flight out. She said all the passengers were mobbing him for photos.

I hope and pray that Iam becomes so successful that he and his family are able to return to their homeland. 🙏🙏🙏

This is one reason I wish my dad was like his dad. My dad was an amazing guitar player. Im 35 and started learning ukulele, guitar and other instruments since 2018. I am getting into the soloing and complex side of it now. Music is life I believe that

That was a year ago and didn't say anything about what he accomplished. It was easy click bait and this brother Iam deserves more than that.

Look at how you titled this video, NOT ONE SINGLE WORD, about what happened to him after he won! That gets you a thumbs down from me!
