Darci Lynne
Darci Lynne Farmer (born October 12, 2004)[1] is an American ventriloquist, singer, and actress. Born in the U.S. state of Oklahoma, she developed interests in singing from a young age but was held back by her shyness before audiences. Inspired by performances by ventriloquists, including the performances of Terry Fator, she developed a talent for ventriloquism, combining this with her skill at singing when performing in a local talent competition with her first puppet in 2014. Her success led to her receiving coaching and assistance in developing her talent, allowing her to win additional talent competitions several more talent competitions over the next two years. She soon came to national prominence when she appeared on Little Big Shots in 2016, but gained greater national recognition when she won the twelfth season of America's Got Talent the following year. Her success in that competition fully established her career in ventriloquism, with a number of experts deeming her performance and eventual success in the competition as an inspiration for future would-be ventriloquists. Following her involvement on America's Got Talent, she has made numerous appearances on television and held several tours with her puppet characters.
