Local R&B group CitiLimitz took to the stage on the newest season of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” and it’s a yes for us.

Comprising twin brothers Marion and A.T. + their cousin Dre, this trio got their start eight years ago when they were around 12 years old, but said they were raised by a family full of gospel + soul singers. In 2019, they made their first TV debut on an episode of “Ellen.”

Fast forward to this year. The group began a two-month-long tour in January + midway through, their managers received an email from “AGT” to audition. You can watch the full performance online, but we’re here to give you some behind-the-scenes coverage.

CitiLimitz auditioned with a cover of “All My Life” by K-Ci and JoJo — which A.T. dedicated to Mel B. herself. “I was more focused on her and ready to show my gift,” he said.

What did the judges have to say? Four yeses were given, with Mel B. complimenting the harmonies and Simon Cowell saying he loves “working with a band that works.”

A.T. also said that Cowell was the judge they were most worried about, but during the audition, he not only had the group perform the cover with the track but also sing it a capella, taking the performance to the top.

Bonus: Watch the full episode on NBC.

While we wait for CitiLimitz to head to live shows in California and give us a golden-buzzer performance, get your fix by streaming their music — including the latest release “Acquainted + Rebound.”
