Who are the parents of Iam Tongi?
American idol Iam Tongi, auditioning for the show’s 21st season, dedicated his performance to his father. He dedicated James Blunt’s moving rendition of “Monsters” to his late father Rodney, who had passed away a few months earlier. Rodney stimulated his late son’s interest in music.
Iam’s impressive performance brought all three judges to tears. Luke Bryan found it extremely moving on a personal level. He orphaned her nieces and nephews, saying it made him think of the death of Kelly’s sister and her husband, Ben Lee Cheshire. Of course, Iam got a ticket from Hollywood.
Ian is Tongan/Samoan/Caucasian. He turned 18 in September 2022.
Meet Rodney Tongi, father of I am Tongi
Rodny Guy Tongi is the father of American Idol contestant Iam Tongi.
On Father’s Day 2022, Iam posted a photo of his father’s headstone and captioned it, “Happy Father’s Day dad I love you.”
I first learned to play the ukulele from my teacher in fifth grade, and then my father introduced him to music in general. Since he came from a family of singers, Dad liked to sing. Iam’s father first introduced him to singing when he was very young. But if he was a little older, he would understand.
Iam claimed that his father always told him that all he had to do was sing. The singer said his father is the main reason he is dedicated to music in a voiceover that accompanied a clip of him and his father performing on American Idol.
