Early Life

Born on October 12, 2004, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Darci Lynne Farmer is the daughter of Misty and Clarke Farmer. She has three brothers. As a child, Lynne loved singing but was too shy to perform in front of audiences. To help her overcome this fear, her parents encouraged her to participate in the 2014 International Cinderella Scholarship Program, where she was crowned International Mini Miss. There, she met young ventriloquist Laryssa Bonacquisti, who inspired her to try ventriloquy. After receiving a puppet for her tenth birthday, Lynne won the local Edmond’s Got Talent competition. She soon began training with ventriloquy coach Gary Owen, who became her coach and manager. In 2015, Lynne won first place in the junior divisions of Oklahoma’s Got Talent and Oklahoma Kids.

“Little Big Shots”

In March 2016, Lynne gained national attention with her performance on “Little Big Shots,” where she sang “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart” with her puppet Katie. She also performed at the Vent Haven International Ventriloquists’ ConVENTion, becoming the event’s first-ever child ventriloquist to perform in an evening show. A year later, she appeared on the British version of “Little Big Shots,” performing the same song.

“America’s Got Talent”

Lynne’s career peaked when she competed on the 12th season of “America’s Got Talent” in 2017. Her performance of “Summertime” with her bunny puppet Petunia became the most viewed “AGT” video on YouTube within 30 hours of its broadcast.

Lynne won the season, receiving $1 million and a headlining show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.
