Did you know the winner of America’s Got Talent had to overcome shyness to perform? Darci Lynne, the talented singing ventriloquist, started her journey in Oklahoma City, where she first found ventriloquism. This simple start is a stark contrast to her current life, which often takes her to big cities like New York City.
Darci wanted to sing, but performing in front of people made her nervous. Her parents helped by having her enter talent pageants, which inspired her to try ventriloquism. She received her first puppet for her 10th birthday and began performing locally just two weeks later.
NYC will never not amaze me | Darci Lynne
When she is in a big city like New York, Darci Lynne always seems amazed by it. Viewers love this humble side of her, saying things like, “New York is incredible” and “NYC looks absolutely amazing, Darci”. One fan loved her honest reaction, saying that Darci’s “gaping mouth each time” was funny to watch.
This wonder for New York City is special because it connects back to her roots. While she performs in big cities, her tour schedule also includes smaller towns across the country. She stays disciplined and grounded because her family has always supported her, and they made sure she only performed on school holidays when she was younger.
It’s Tiiiimeee
Darci’s Christmas show, the “Up Close & Personal Tour Holiday Edition,” clearly shows this balance. She travels to large entertainment hubs like Fort Lauderdale and Arlington, Texas, but also stops in smaller cities. Her schedule often includes stops in Wichita, Kansas, and Lawton, Oklahoma, which are part of the “Heartland” circuit.
Darci Lynne’s entire career is a sweet story about keeping your small-town heart while living a big-city life. Follow Darci Lynne on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to see more of her incredible journey from Oklahoma to the world stage.
