Darci Lynne

Darci Lynne Farmer (born October 12, 2004) is an American ventriloquist and singer. She has been credited with the revival of ventriloquism, earning praise and numerous accolades for her work.

Born in Oklahoma, Farmer developed an interest in singing from a young age, but was held back by her shyness before audiences. Inspired by performances by ventriloquists including Terry Fator, she began to practice ventriloquism, performing in a local talent contest with her first puppet in 2014. Following her success in the competition, Farmer received coaching and assistance from other performers, allowing her to win additional contests over the next two years.

Farmer came to national attention when she appeared on Little Big Shots in 2016, but gained greater recognition and acclaim when she won the twelfth season of America's Got Talent the following year. Since then, she has made numerous appearances on other television shows and has held several tours with her puppet characters, with Petunia Rabbit being her main character.
