Darci Lynne Farmer (born October 12, 2004) is a ventriloquist, comedian, and singer from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She is the winner of season twelve of the NBC competition show America's Got Talent.
Darci Lynne became the third female and child act to win America’s Got Talent in its first 12 seasons, following Bianca Ryan in season one and Grace VanderWaal in season eleven. She is also the third ventriloquist to win, following Terry Fator (season two) and Paul Zerdin (season ten).
Darci Lynne Farmer lives in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She was born on October 12, 2004. Growing up, Farmer loved to sing, but she was shy and was afraid to perform in front of an audience. Her parents encouraged her to overcome her shyness by participating in the International Cinderella Scholarship Program where she was crowned International Mini Miss. At that pageant she also met International Teen titleholder, Laryssa Bonacquisti, a young ventriloquist who inspired the shy Farmer to try ventriloquism herself. She is self-taught and would practice her ABC's without moving her lips. She then asked her parents, Clarke and Misty Farmer, for a puppet, insisting that it would overcome her shyness. On her tenth birthday, her parents presented her with a puppet. Farmer's idol is past America's Got Talent winner Terry Fator. Because ventriloquism is not very common, the once shy Farmer made a commitment that she personally wanted to keep the art of ventriloquism alive.
In 2014 she entered Edmond's Got Talent where she won first prize after a month's preparation on Bonacquisti's tips. Since then she has worked with ventriloquy coach Gary Owen and vocal teacher Tiana Plemons. In 2016, Farmer made some appearances on Little Big Shots (U.S.). Then in early 2017, she competed on Little Big Shots UK (both on episode 4 of season 1 of those series).
