Before his audition, King introduced himself to the judges. He shared that he wants to have his own TV show, travel the world, and star in movies. If he wins the million-dollar prize, King wants to take his family on a cruise vacation.
King went on to perform a song called “Pen Game,” which he wrote when he was about 6 years old. To start things off, he directed everyone in the audience to stand up. He proceeded to show off incredible stage presence and a fast-paced rapping style.
The audience cheered along as King performed, and the judges couldn’t stop smiling. At the end of the performance, the panel gave King a standing ovation. Mel B told him he has “so much swag and rhythm and confidence.”
Sofia Vergara said he seems “like a star already,” and Simon Cowell called him “so brilliant.” All four judges voted “yes” to sending King through in the competition.

Who Will Earn the Golden Buzzer This Week?
AGT Season 20 will return to NBC this Tuesday night at 8/7c, as the judges watch a whole new set of auditions to determine who should move on. Who will earn this week’s Golden Buzzer to go straight into the live shows?
So far this season, five acts have earned the Golden Buzzer — singers Jourdan Blue and Charity Lockhart, dance group Light Wire and the Funkateer Dancers, and juggling act the Messoudi Brothers. Sofia Vergara is the only person out of the judges and host who hasn’t pressed the Golden Buzzer yet this season.
In a previous early release audition, AGT teased a performance by Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval and his band. We don’t yet know if the judges liked the audition enough to send them through. We’ll find out on Tuesday night.
