Darci Lynne Farmer, a name synonymous with extraordinary talent, has made a triumphant return to the stage after four years, showcasing skills that have only grown stronger. Known for her incredible ventriloquism, Darci’s journey began with a passion for singing that was overshadowed by her fear of performing in front of an audience. However, her determination led her to master the art of puppetry, a talent that would eventually bring her into the spotlight.
At the age of ten, with support from her parents, Darci was crowned International Mini Miss. It was during this time that she met Laryssa Bonacquisti, a fellow ventriloquist and International Teen titleholder, who inspired her to pursue ventriloquism more seriously. Darci’s ability to make her puppets sing without moving her lips astonished audiences, setting her apart from other performers.
Rise to Stardom on America’s Got Talent
Darci’s big break came in 2017 when she auditioned for the twelfth season of America’s Got Talent. Accompanied by her puppet, Petunia—a charming, girly rabbit—Darci performed “Summertime” from Porgy and Bess. The performance left the judges and audience in awe, culminating in Mel B hitting the golden buzzer and sending Darci straight to the live shows. This performance became the most-watched video in the show’s history within 30 hours, ranking fourth on YouTube’s top trending videos of 2017. Many years later, this video is still a hit on the internet, and people continue to love it.
