El Pasoan Julian Kalel’s journey continues and now he needs our help to keep on moving forward!!

From the very beginning, Julian captured hearts not just with his voice, but with his vulnerability. During his audition, he opened up about his mental health journey and shared how music became his lifeline. That honesty, paired with his undeniable talent, earned him a golden ticket to Hollywood and put El Paso on the map in a big way.

Since then, Julian has continued to shine through each round of the competition. During Hollywood Week, he impressed the judges with a powerful performance that earned him a standing ovation and secured his spot in the next round. Most recently, during Ohana Night in Hawaii, Julian performed his original song “Surrender,” dedicating it to his dad. The emotional performance, alongside his sister on violin, helped him officially land a spot in the Top 20.
