19-year-old walked onto the stage like a storm rolling in—black clothes, thick eyeliner, metal glinting from his piercings, and a look that warned everyone not to judge him too fast. He had that “don’t mess with me” energy, the kind that made the crowd shift in their seats, unsure of what was about to happen. But then he opened his mouth to sing—and the whole room froze. What came out wasn’t rough or wild. It was heartbreak poured into sound. A voice so deep, so haunting, it felt like the air got pulled out of the room. He wasn’t just singing—he was bringing a 1918 opera piece back from the past, turning it into something so fresh and powerful that no one could blink. The judges leaned forward, stunned into silence, one whispering, “This could be the next Susan Boyle.”

A Conversation with Andrew De Leon: Part One - Jake's Take

When you take a look at Andrew De Leon, he looks like an average goth guy. But what you won’t be expecting is his powerful voice. And you definitely won’t be expecting the pitch of his voice, or his song choice–it is literally the opposite of what I was expecting.

Andrew hadn’t ever sang in front of anyone; not his friends or families, and definitely not an arena full of people. So when he stepped on the stage of America’s Got Talent in Austin, Texas, for his audition, that made it even more special.

Andrew was a big fan of Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie growing up. He felt like an outsider, but listening to them was his escape. Andrew gradually developed an interest in singing, but by his audition, he had never sung to anyone in public, including his family. 19-year-old Andrew stunned the crowd with his brilliant and amazing rendition of “O Mio Babbino Caro”.
