The Roadturn concept began in June of 2007 — inspired by the incredible voice and story of Paul Potts, winner of the Britain’s Got Talent show that year.

I was at a place in my own life where I was beginning to doubt the possibility of my own dream. Paul’s win gave me a necessary push. I’ll never forget it or him.

Tonight, I listened to another young man sing his heart out. Once again, I was moved to tears.

Jordan Smith, I admire your ability to say, “This is who I am.”

May the Lord bless and keep you always.
