The auditions continue this week on America’s Got Talent with 23-year-old Cole Swensen chasing his dream of making music but the twist is he brought his mother Judy along with him.

Cole has been playing smaller venues around Los Angeles for the last four years, but his dream is to be on big stages like the AGT stage.

“A large reason why I pursue music is because of my mom,” Cole told judges Simon Cowell , Mel B , Sofia Vergara and Howie Mandel . “She gave up her career and her dream of music and I am able to take her place, so she’s going to be here playing with me.”
