Darci Lynne garnered over 67 million views and counting on AGT’s YouTube. She received the most votes for a final performance in the history of the show. She won the hearts of America with her sweetheart disposition and undeniable talent.

Who is Darci Lynne Farmer?

Originally from Oklahoma, Farmer grew up participating in talent-based pageants to overcome her shy demeanor and gain confidence. When she was introduced to ventriloquism, she quickly took to the skill and began competing in talent competitions in Oklahoma and beyond, after only two weeks. This ultimately landed her at one of the biggest talent competitions on television.

Now, the talented ventriloquist is 16-years-old, and still honing her craft. Since her time on AGT, she has performed at the Grand Ole Opry, opened for Fergie at Caesar’s Palace on New Year’s Eve, and starred in her own NBC Christmas Special.


Darci Lynne has also made a number of television appearances and was seen on NBC’s Little Big Shots, Food Network’s Kids Baking Championship, Nickelodeon’s All That, Ellen, NBC’s The Kelly Clarkson Show, and The Today Show.

It’s apparent that this is only the beginning for Darci Lynne. She will continue to be on a trajectory to success.


EDIT: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that Darci Lynne was the youngest contestant to ever win AGT and that she was the first ever ventriloquist to win the show. Bianca Ryan won the show at the age of 11, younger than when Darci Lynne won, and Paul Zerdin is another ventriloquist who has won the show.
