Isaac Brown gets a second chance to prove himself

Isaac delivered an energetic performance during the last round of auditions. He auditioned with JVKE's hit 'Golden Hour'. While his high notes impressed all three judges, Katy wanted to be entertained. She asked for something with choreography so Isaac sang Wizkid's 'Essence'. Notably, he showed off impressive dance moves along with excellent vocals. Katy responded with, 'Finally, we get some sauce in New Orleans.'

Issac was raised by a single mother and his success didn't come overnight. He performed on the streets when he was young. However, nothing stopped Isaac from accomplishing his dreams.
