The Contestant Who Fell In Love With Music Thanks To ‘American Idol’
Marking the 24th season of American Idol, Trew shared his first memory of falling in love with music. And according to the singer, “My first memory of music — me and my mom used to watch American Idol. That was my first memory of loving music.” At 24 years old, Trew was born in 2001. In June 2002, American Idol aired its first episode.
As for his audition, Trew decided to cover Sam Cooke’s “Nothing Can Change This Love.” And much like his heartfelt story, his voice moved the judges. Underwood insisted, “You have a commanding voice, but my favorite part was your delivery,” Carrie added. “You weren’t trying to barrel over the song. You were telling a story — and it was completely believable.”
Agreeing with Underwood, Bryan added, “I had full-body chills the whole time. It was so genuine. I want to see your family enjoy this ride.”
Getting a ticket to Hollywood, Trew’s journey to stardom is only beginning. Don’t miss a new episode of American Idol airing tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and available to stream the following day on Hulu.
