The young teen has been singing for as long as he can remember but only his “very best friend” and mum knew about his audition on the America’s Got Talent show.

Howie Mandel asked the 16-year-old “If you could make one wish, right now, this second, to make something come true for yourself, what would you wish?”

Christian replied, “Right this second? Probably the Golden Buzzer.”

And Mandel sure did make Christian’s dreams come true by slamming down the gold buzzer, sending him straight through to the live shows.
