Neal Shared His Journey with Addiction on AGT

In his audition, Neal told the judges that he had gotten sober. He went on to perform an original song called “Lost,” which he said was “the first song I wrote sober.” The performance made judge Sofia Vergara emotional, as she shared that she and her family know how difficult addiction is.
Neal made it to the Quarterfinals of AGT, where he performed another original song called “Send Me a Butterfly,” earning a standing ovation from the judges. In 2020, the singer said he “found happiness by helping others in recovery.”
