Modern entertainment can come in a wide variety of forms. In a world where singing is often accompanied by well-choreographed dancing, Darci Lynne has found another way. The talented teenager has taken a more old-fashioned and laid-back approach to entertaining audiences, combining her talents as both a singer and ventriloquist. She burst onto the scene as the winner of the 12th season of America’s Got Talent and turned that success into a stage show called Darci Lynne and Friends Live. A shy girl from a small town in Oklahoma, Darci has dazzled audiences with her unique talent, headlining shows before she was old enough to drive, and is poised to entertain audiences with her family-friendly act for many years to come.

Finding a Voice

Once upon a time, Darci was just a shy girl from Oklahoma who loved singing but was afraid to get up in front of an audience. She was encouraged by her parents to compete in pageants as a way to overcome her shyness. Along the way, she discovered the magic of ventriloquism, which became the perfect outlet for her, helping her to overcome her shyness and stage-fright. By the time she made it to the America’s Got Talent stage, Darci had poise and stage presence far beyond her years and immediately became one of the show’s most popular contestants. To no one’s surprise, Darci won the competition, and a new type of star was born.

Making It Big

For Darci, winning America’s Got Talent was just the beginning. She’s turned out to be anything but a one-show wonder. Of course, it helps to have over half a dozen puppets that all have unique and engaging personalities. Darci’s win on America’s Got Talent turned into a slew of performances on talk shows and at high-profile venues like Madison Square Garden and the Grand Ole Opry. She even opened for Fergie on New Year’s Eve at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. Darci and her band of puppets now take their act on the road, headlining shows from coast to coast and proving that entertainment can come in many forms. The only thing that matters is having talent, and Darci unquestionably has talent.
