Iam Tongi, American Idol’s most viral contestant ever and the winner of the 21st season of the phenomenally popular singing competition is headed to Oxford! Hailed by reviewers as “one of the show’s strongest victors ever,” Iam Tongi made history when he blew away American Idol judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan with his heartfelt performances during Season 21.
