Actor/singer/ventriloquist Darci Lynne(opens in a new tab) was 12 years old when she paired her love of music with a male-dominated profession to hit the prime time stage and capture the hearts of audiences around the country on NBC’s America’s Got Talent. She would become the youngest contestant to ever win the million dollar competition, garnering over 90M views on AGT’s YouTube and the most votes for a final performance in the history of the show.

Darci Lynne’s 2017 win would be followed by her highly rated 2018 NBC Christmas special My Hometown Christmas featuring guests Toby Keith and Kristin Chenoweth (reaching over 9M households), and a successful U.S. tour—all while juggling middle school. Her 50-stop 2018 tour generated more than 100,000 in ticket sales and grossed $5.2M.

The young entertainer has been credited with charming America and changing the face and popularity of ventriloquism, turning the art form into a female-driven force thanks to her talent and social media influence (5M TikTok(opens in a new tab) followers, Facebook(opens in a new tab) 2M, Instagram(opens in a new tab) 1.2M, YouTube(opens in a new tab) 1.16M). Along the way, she has created an extreme fanbase for Petunia, Oscar, Edna, and Katie—the crazy cast of puppets she brings to life on stage.

During high school, Darci Lynne launched her My Lips Are Sealed (Except When They’re Not) Tour! featuring four of her original songs. Since her AGT win, she placed second in the AGT spin-off America’s Got Talent: The Champions, headlined the Mirage in Las Vegas, sold out the Ryman twice, performed at the Grand Ole Opry multiple times, and co-starred in the 2022 feature film A Cowgirl’s Song featuring one of her original songs “Just Breathe.” Now 19, Darci Lynne has added producing to her resumé with the release of the official music video for “Push Our Luck” named Best Music Video 2024 by Los Angeles Film Awards. She debuted the song during her 2024 performance on America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League. She is gearing up to release her next single, “Someone Wake Me Up”, ahead of the release of her new movie, Reagan.

A one-woman variety show, Darci Lynne continues to masterfully balance fan-favorite puppet performances with solo spots and high profile collaborations in music, film and television, all while creating unique multigenerational relatability that few can match.

From Today and The Kelly Clarkson Show to Rockefeller Center, the Vegas Strip, the Grand Ole Opry, and interviews with People(opens in a new tab), PARADE(opens in a new tab), or Forbes(opens in a new tab), Darci Lynne handles the spotlight with grace, professionalism, and excitement that transcends age. Armed with a loyal and ever-growing fanbase and an impressive collaborative network, she’s ready to dive in and jump-start another chapter in entertainment. Stay tuned and watch her soar.
