Violinist Brian King Joseph Overcomes Rare Nerve Disease To Perform On AGT

Talented violinist Brian King Joseph returns to the America’s Got Talent stage for an incredible original performance.

We first met Brian when he competed on the 2018 season of AGT. That’s when we learned that Brian started to play violin when he was just a boy. But, he was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, a rare nerve disease that leads to the deterioration of nerves in the fingers, feet and spine.

This condition left Brian in a lot of pain and he was bedridden for much of high school and college. By the time he was 22, Brian reached a point where he was tired of the pain and letting his condition rule his life. He decided to turn to his childhood love and picked up the violin again.

The music truly made Brian feel alive again and he gradually started to improve. He decided to audition for America’s Got Talent and made it all the way to the finals where he placed third.

Since that time, Brian has toured the world and even had enough money to afford his healthcare. Now, he’s playing better than ever and he’s back to try and win the title on America’s Got Talent: Champions. This special format of competition features over 40 acts from all across the globe.

The list of contenders includes past winners, finalists and fan-favorites from the entire Got Talent franchise. Brian performed an original song that had the entire audience on their feet.

After the performance, Simon said ‘Every time I see you, I am blown away.’ And I have to agree.
Brian King Joseph definitely has what it takes to go all the way. What do you think?
