Get ready for some serious cuteness! Five-year-old drummer Chrisyius Whitehead wowed the America’s Got Talent judges and audience alike with his charm, talent, and heartwarming personality. Dressed in an adorable white shirt, brown vest, and bowtie, he had Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Howie Mandel, and Heidi Klum hooked from the moment he stepped on stage.
When asked what he’d do with the $1 million prize, Chrisyius melted hearts by saying he’d share it with the poor and homeless. But when asked what he’d do with the rest, his playful side shone through with the hilarious answer: “Buy 200 bags of slime and squishy toys!”
Hailing from Sopchoppy, Florida, Chrisyius has been drumming since he was a toddler, and his online fame has already exploded, with a viral TikTok of his drumming skills racking up nearly 14 million views. On AGT, he brought down the house performing Stevie Wonder’s Faith, with everyone in awe of his talent. His small size meant he had to stand at the drum set, adding an extra layer of adorableness to his high-energy performance.
Cowell called him “brilliant,” and the other judges couldn’t believe he was only five years old. With four big yeses, Chrisyius left the stage as AGT’s newest little star!
