Iam Tongi

The 19-year-old says that Garth Brooks' "The Dance" is one of the first songs he learned to play, and it was his father who urged him.

The recording of Wallen's "Sand in My Boots" took place in Nashville.

Tongi encouraged his fans to show their support for victims of the devastation in Maui, even if they can't donate money.

'I will try to do better next time,' Tongi says.

He chose the perfect song!

He says his family cheered for everyone this season.

This emotional duet was a full-circle moment for Tongi.
