American Idol Audition
Ace’s musical journey began with his focus on singing, though his interest in playing musical instruments also grew over time. In 5th grade, he started following in his brother’s footsteps, who was already involved in the music industry. Ace began sharing his songs and covers on Instagram and YouTube, and he performed at open mic events. At his theater school, he participated in a talent show and was able to captivate the audience.
Ace also auditioned for America’s Got Talent but did not find success there, though he remained motivated. In 2021, he made his American Idol debut, where he shared his story of being transgender and performed in front of the judges. After his performance, the judges expressed that his voice needed more practice, while the audience felt otherwise. Unfortunately, Ace did not make it through the audition round, and many fans believed the judges’ decision was influenced by his transgender identity.
