William (Iam) Tongi sings a few soulful notes over the phone. The 2023 American Idol winner who charmed audiences with his warm vocals and unassuming demeanor slips into the melody as naturally as ocean waves washing over the beaches in Kahuku, Hawaii, where he was born.

Behind the scenes for this story included me playing as many of Grandpa Beck's Games as possible and brainstorming all the game puns I could. Also, can we just admire the art by their illustrator, Apryl Stott? I love what she came up with for our cover! https://t.co/jJ5w1tXulq
I've always loved the music in the Light the World videos and thought I'd do a little research to figure out where it came from. Here's what I found out: https://t.co/334aW8azz7
