Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥˜Once I got the opportunity to participate this year, it really wasnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t something that I was expecting, a lot of the memories, a lot of the opportunities coming my way. This whole experience has been very validating to me.Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™

Salgado says that he had just finished auditioning for Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥˜American IdolÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™, when the opportunity arose.

Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥˜ItÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s interesting because at the time I just came off of auditioning for American Idol and that didnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t really go my way at the time, I think that was a huge turning point for me because I realized, itÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s not that I wasnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t vocally ready, it was just not the right time in that moment.Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™

ThereÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s just so much talent. IÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™m not surprised, but IÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™m also just so happy that weÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ve been able to represent well with music and with the arts.Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™
