While some painters are born brilliant, others need years of practice. Finding someone with inherent skill is extremely uncommon, but when you do, you will understand the enchantment of it.

And the moment the judges of America’s Got Talent saw Carlos De Antonis, they sensed the magic. Miami-based taxi driver Carlos traveled to take part in one of the most prominent stages in the country.

Many of his passengers thought he could make it, so he did. Carlos was a little hesitant, but he decided to give it a shot because

he enjoys singing and making others happy. In all honesty, though, with his hoodie and shades, he barely resembles a cab driver.

However, there is a secret that the judges, the public, and his fellow travelers were unaware of: Carlos was an opera singer in Buenos Aires, Argentina, before to immigrating to the United States.

In 2006, he even recorded an album. Carlos plays a rendition of ‘Nessun Dorma,’ a well-known opera ballad. His voice leaves his lips and silence descends upon the whole hall.

When he finishes, everyone in the audience is standing. Simon Cowell even agrees that this is one of the most incredible performances from America’s Got Talent.
