In 2017, Darci Lynne became the youngest contestant ever to win America’s Got Talent, singing The Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends” with the help of her puppet friends Oscar and Petunia. Following her win, the young ventriloquist brought her show on the road and has been hitting stages around the country ever since. After her AGT win, Darci Lynne’s headlining show sold out in only six minutes.
The Oklahoma native, who turns 17 on Oct. 14, discovered a love for singing at a young age but was afraid of performing in front of audiences. She struggled with shyness throughout her childhood years until she found her voice through ventriloquism after meeting and becoming inspired by another young ventriloquist named Laryssa Bonacquisti. For her 10th birthday, Darci Lynne was gifted a puppet from her parents. In 2014, after only a month’s preparation, following tips she’d gotten from Bonacquisti, Darci Lynne’s first performance was at a local talent show where she won first place. From there, fame came quickly after she appeared on the children’s talent show Little Big Shots in 2016 and then went on to win the 12th season of America’s Got Talent in 2017.
Darci Lynne and her puppet friends have been featured on numerous television shows including Food Network’s Kids Baking Championship, Nickelodeon’s All That, Ellen, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Today, A Very Pentatonix Christmas, and even her own Christmas television special, Darci Lynne: My Hometown Christmas.
As per a public health directive by Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak, guests at the performance will be required to wear masks indoors, regardless of vaccination status, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
