Gabrielle Union is completely behind this young star, bringing everyone to the awareness of support from the Queen herself by saying “Listen, that was the best performance.

Fulfilling dreams seems to be the fuel behind Tyler Butler-Figueroa’s passion. ‘AGT’ helped make that happen by pairing season 13’s high-energy violinist Brian King Joseph who placed third with this talented young artist.
