Drake Milligan instantly won over America’s Got Talent judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara with his energetic audition. AGT fans were just as captivated by the country music singer from Fort Worth, Texas, who was immediately dubbed a breakout star on the NBC singing competition show. Now, the rising artist is on hoping to make it to the AGT finals. While the votes continue to get counted, there’s more to know about Drake than what he shared on stage.

During the latest AGT season 17 audition round, the 23-year-old vocalist performed the original single “Sounds Like Something I’d Do” from his self-titled EP released in July 2021. After revealing that he started out his music career as an Elvis Presley impersonator, Drake tried out using his own voice and style alongside his band.

Reacting to his audition, AGT fans wasted no time sharing compliments. “They were AMAZING!!!!!!!! I didn’t feel like I was watching AGT I felt like I was watching someone already famous!!!!!! That song was so [freaking] GOOD!!!!!!!” one person wrote on YouTube. “He sounds like a professional singer [to be honest]. Amazing voice and personality!!! A superstar,” another added.

That inkling isn’t too far off base as one different fan shared. “Drake is no stranger to the stage. He’s been performing for years now. He has played Elvis Presley on a CMT show too,” a follower commented. “He was also on American Idol in 2018 but quit the show early,” someone else chimed in.
