LDS Pianist Josh Wright On 'America's Got Talent'

Josh Wright started learning the piano when he was four years old. And a couple decades later, it is still paying off.

Wright, who frequently makes appearances at Time out for Women events and holds small concerts across the US, has released five of his own albums and starred in some very unique music videos.

Last night, part of Wright's audition for the popular reality TV show America's Got Talent was aired. His "explosive" performance involving fire and paint on a white piano drew praise from all of the judges, who enthusiastically advanced him to the next round. As he continues, Wright has the chance to win $1 million and thousands of fans. We are very excited for him and wish him the best of luck as he continues stunning audiences! Watch the clip of Wright's audition that aired on the show, or the original YouTube music video below.
