Wines discovered the America’s Got Talent application after speaking with his 16-year-old student, Maya, who was nervous about an impending show. Empathizing with Maya’s fear, he resolved to take the plunge himself.

“I wanted to show her that even teachers get nervous sometimes,” Wines told me. “I put myself in her shoes and decided to face my own fears.”

Despite almost missing his audition invitation, which ended up in his junk folder, Wines was fortunate to find it just in time. Now, he is ready to give it his all in the live shows.

This remarkable journey is an inspiration to both Wines’ students and anyone who dreams of pursuing their passion. Follow Wines’ progress on America’s Got Talent and keep cheering for this talented guitar teacher from Dorset.
