Elliott Yamin Biography

An American Idol finalist despite being 90 percent deaf in one ear having no formal training in music and managing a life-threatening illness on a daily basis Elliott Yamin’s success has been one of the most stirring stories of the entertainment year. Perhaps no one in the history of the competition has pulled as many heartstrings as the 28-year-old Virginian blessed with a thrilling soulful voice—a voice that moved the notoriously finicky Simon Cowell to call him the best male singer ever to appear on the show.
Diagnosed at sixteen years old with Type 1 diabetes (for which he is forced to wear an insulin pump every day) Elliott is proof positive that the illness is no obstacle to accomplishment. From the stage he inspires listeners to realize their loftiest dreams no matter what the odds--with the humility quiet spiritual strength and enthusiasm that have won him a lasting place in America’s heart.
