On September 15, 2021 he was crowned as the season 16 winner of America’s Got Talent.
Tavella has been candid about his childhood struggles. He and his sister grew up in a chaotic environment because their father was a drug dealer. He’s noted that they witnessed a lot of partying, alcohol and drug abuse early in life. Eventually, his parents met a couple at a Christian festival that helped them get their lives back on track.
