Musa Motha Wows with Gold Glitter Crutches on America's Got Talent

This month, the incredible Musa Motha takes centre stage on his Gold Cool Crutches on this season's America's Got Talent Fantasy League 2024. Not only a spine tingling performance but one that won the Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell!

Musa became a household name following his incredible performances on Britain's Got Talent in 2023. Throughout his journey, the cancer survivor & South African amputee wowed the judges with his breathtaking dancing on crutches. So mesmerised by Musa's moves, the judges hit the golden buzzer fast tracking Musa to the final.

Whilst Musa didn't win Britain's Got Talent he won over the nation with his resilience, charm and flawless talent. His story began as a young boy who's passion was playing football. Sadly one game, when he was just 10 years old, changed his life forever.

A seemingly innocent injury on the football pitch saw him taken to hospital but following x rays that showed no obvious issue, further tests began. Eventually a bone marrow biopsy revealed Musa had osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer in his left leg. Whilst his football injury hadn't caused it, it had led to doctors finding the already-present cancer. Sadly chemotherapy didn't work and Musa's doctor advised amputation of his left leg was the best course of action. Initially refusing the suggestion, Musa continued but as time progressed so did the pain and when he eventually couldn't stand, he returned to the doctors who confirmed it was amputation or death.

Musa chose to amputate his left leg and at the same time, that he would approach his life differently, more positively. Now 26. Musa has thrived in the face of adversity becoming a professional amputee dancer (on crutches), choreographer and motivational speaker.

Cool Crutches Co Founder Amelia and Musa connected back in early 2023 and immediately bonded over their passion for carving out a positive outlook in the face of adversity. Musa is phenomenally talented but also so dedicated to creating a more diverse world, something we as a business strive to achieve. Musa has chosen to use Cool Crutches for his performances, is the proud owner of Black Glitter Crutches, Red Glitter Crutches and Gold Glitter Crutches and has become a beacon of power and positivity in using them.

We are in awe of what Musa has achieved and feel so lucky to have been able to work together, wishing Musa all the very best of luck in America's Got Talent and for a brilliant 2024!
