‘American Idol’ has sent Church Music Director “Tobias Hill” to Hollywood. Tobias who is the music director of Celebration Church Franklin in North Carolina, started off this week’s episode of “American Idol” and has progressed to the Hollywood round.
The 26-year-old singer from the town of Como wrote, “God gets all the glory” on Instagram. Tobias auditioned with Stevie Wonder classic “Knocks Me Off My Feet” and performed the tune while also playing the piano. He goes by the stage name of Prince Tch and was also asked to dance for celebrity judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie. He later received a “yes” from all three judges, which advanced him to the Hollywood round of the competition.
Katy Perry said: “I think you’re going to have to get a sub,” “It’s time to become the student once again.” Hill answered saying “I’m ready, I’m ready to learn. I’m willing to learn.”
Tobias Hill is made it to the semi-finals of an Instagram singing competition hosted by Wanya Morris of Boyz II Men in 2021.
He is musically influenced by the likes of Stevie Wonder, P.J. Morgan and Brian McKnight. He described his genre as R&B, gospel and smooth jazz.
