Where Is ‘AGT’ Season 14 Winner Kodi Lee Now? His Life, 7 Years Later
America’s Got Talent is in its 21st season, but instead of another episode of Auditions airing on June 30, the show will be celebrating the upcoming July 4th holiday with a special “Party in the USA” celebration. Judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B., and Sofia Vergara, along with host Terry Crews, will be gathering to look back at some of the most iconic AGT acts of all-time.
One of those is Season 14 winner Kodi Lee, who is one of the most beloved contestants in the show’s history. The singer and pianist competed in 2019, then returned for America’s Got Talent: All-Stars in 2023. Although Lee was one of 10 acts to make the Finals, he did not finish in the Top 5.
One year later, he was on America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League, mentored by Cowell. He was stolen by Mandel’s Golden Buzzer in the Semifinals, earning himself a place in the Finals with nine other acts. Lee once again finished outside the Top 5, though.
Regardless, Lee has had a successful history in the AGT franchise. Scroll down for an update on what he’s up to today.
What is Kodi Lee doing now?
Lee is continuing to make music and inspire people with his social media content. In April 2026, he released his debut album, Exactly as I Am, a 13-track record.
While he has released some of his own original music, he also spends a lot of time taking fan requests for covers on social media.

Additionally, Lee performs at local events and has returned to the AGT stage to sing since his time on the show. In 2024, he was the headliner at an AGT Superstars show in Las Vegas. He was also featured during the AGT 20th Birthday Party episode during Season 20 on August 12, 2025.
What condition does Kodi Lee have?
Lee was born with optic nerve hypoplasia, a condition that has left him legally blind. He had a life-saving surgery when he was just 5 years old, and was also diagnosed with autism as a child.
None of this ever stopped Lee from pursuing a music career. He has an audio-photographic memory, which means he can memorize music after hearing something just one time. He also has perfect pitch.
