Artist Information
Darci Lynne turned 21 in 2025. As an actor, singer, and ventriloquist, she was just 12 years old when she paired her love of music with a traditionally male-dominated art form, captivating audiences across the country on NBC’s America’s Got Talent. She became one of the youngest winners in the show’s history—and the youngest ventriloquist ever to win a televised talent competition—garnering over 90 million views on AGT’s YouTube channel and earning a finalist performance that remains one of the most-watched in franchise history.
Before her breakout win, she appeared on Little Big Shots in 2016. Her Golden Buzzer performance on AGT quickly became one of the most-viewed acts in the show’s history.
Her 2017 win was followed by her highly rated 2018 NBC Christmas special My Hometown Christmas, featuring Toby Keith and Kristin Chenoweth and reaching over 9 million households, as well as a 50-stop U.S. tour that sold more than 100,000 tickets and grossed $5.2 million—all while she was still in middle school.
Darci Lynne has been credited with transforming the face and popularity of ventriloquism, making the art form a female-driven force through her talent, stagecraft, and social media presence. Fans have embraced her colorful cast of puppets—Petunia, Oscar, Edna, and Katie—each brought to life with distinct personalities.
While in high school, she launched her My Lips Are Sealed (Except When They’re Not) Tour, which featured four of her original songs. Since her AGT win, she has placed second in America’s Got Talent: The Champions, headlined the Mirage in Las Vegas, sold out the Ryman Auditorium twice, performed multiple times at the Grand Ole Opry, and co-starred in the 2022 feature film A Cowgirl’s Song, which included her original song “Just Breathe.”
In 2024, she added producing to her résumé with the official music video for “Push Our Luck,” which was named Best Music Video by the Los Angeles Film Awards. She debuted the song on America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League. She also prepared to release her next single, “Someone Wake Me Up,” ahead of her appearance in the feature film Reagan (2024), in which she was credited as “Drowning Girl.”
Current Projects
Her Up Close and Personal tour will continue through mid-2026, featuring a special Up Close & Personal Christmas Tour in December 2025. In mid-2025, she added more dates, extending her reach into America’s Heartland. Across all shows performed in 2025, she has achieved a 93.84% sell-through rate in the first six months of the tour, selling out 21 of 25 markets, including West Palm Beach (three shows), Tacoma, Spokane, Oklahoma City, Toledo, Columbus, and Kansas City. The show delivers family-friendly entertainment—a blend of ventriloquism, music, and comedy with fan-favorite puppets. On July 23, 2025, she released her single Better Late Than Never after previewing it a cappella, showcasing her vocal ability beyond ventriloquism.
Media & Appearances
Darci Lynne returned to AGT in 2025 for the show’s 20th anniversary special and continues to make guest appearances on the series. She has been featured on Today, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and in interviews with People, PARADE, and Forbes. She has performed at Rockefeller Center, the Vegas Strip, and the Grand Ole Opry.
Social Reach
Why She Stands Out
A one-woman variety show, Darci Lynne masterfully balances ventriloquism, music, comedy, and acting, creating a multi-generational connection few can match. With a loyal and ever-growing fanbase, a proven record of sold-out tours, and an expanding body of work in music, television, and film, she continues to evolve as one of the most versatile entertainers in the country—ready for the next chapter in her career.
