Grace VanderWaal is a 12 year old singer, songwriter, and ukulele player. She who won the reality TV talent competition show 'America's Got Talent' for the first time in ten years. She won $1 million in prize money and a three-night headline slot in an American got talent show in Las Vegas after winning AGT. She will also appear in AGT's inaugural Christmas special, which will air in December.

She appeared on numerous chat shows after winning AGT, performing her original compositions from the talent competition. She's appeared on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' and 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' as a guest. She was also named to Billboard magazine's list of 21 Under 21, "music's hottest young sensations," after winning the AGT. She stated on Instagram that she is working on a lyric video for her hit song "I Don't Know My Name." She also teased her fans on Twitter by uploading photographs from her first professional recording session, which she teased about her future album.

According to accounts, Grace VanderWaal began writing her first song with a wireless microphone when she was just three years old. She started seriously studying singing and songwriting about a year before appearing on American Idol. She requested a ukulele for her 11th birthday after seeing YouTube videos of others, particularly Twenty One Pilots band member Tyler Joseph, playing the instrument. Grace purchased one with money she received for her birthday after her mother dismissed the idea, figuring she would never play it.

She began by watching YouTube videos on how to play the ukulele. Despite the fact that she began performing at local open mic events, she did not perform in front of a large crowd until she was accepted for American Got Talent. She auditioned for the competition with her original song "I Don't Know My Name." Her performance earned her the "Golden Buzzer" act from Howie Mandel, advancing her to the Live Shows. Her audition video has received more than 44 million views on YouTube, the most of any AGT video.

This little vanderwaal decided to write because on that time she felt very bored and found that writing music was so much fun. She used to try to envision what the characters were feeling when watching movies. Her need to relate with TV characters led her to compose songs. Despite the fact that she has been writing songs for a long time, she said she only started sharing them with others before competing for AGT.

She claims that her songs provide a window into her mind. Her whole American Idol performance was based on songs she wrote herself."I Don't Know My Name," the song she performed during the audition, is about finding one's place in the world. "Beautiful Thing," the second song she performed, is a ballad dedicated to her older sister. She sang the song "Clay" on the final, which is about dealing with bullying.

According to Judge Howie Mandel, she is the "most distinctive, brightest talent to emerge from one of these shows."Judge Simon Cowell predicted she may be "the next Taylor Swift" right after her audition on AGT. Grace has what it takes to reach the top, according to rock legend Stevie Nicks, who participated on the show's penultimate episode. When she won, Singer Taylor Swift presented her with a bouquet of flowers.

Being dubbed "the next Taylor Swift" is certain to put a lot of pressure on a young person. Grace may not have a clear path ahead of her if the success of previous AGT winners is any indication. Her remarks, on the other hand, set her apart from the rest since they are unique and heartfelt. Her calm and quirky melodies have a depth that is unusual for someone so young. She's already signed a record deal with Columbia Records and is working on her debut album.

Grace VanderWaal was born in Kansas city, but she moved to Suffern, New York later in life. Her mother Tina and father David Vanderwaal, an LG Electronics vice president of marketing, older brother Jacob, who is a student at Camden Military Academy, and older sister Olivia live with her. Olivia, Grace's sister, is a close friend of hers.

Grace stated that she would contribute a portion of her prize money to a charity, most likely associated to the music industry, and that she would like to purchase a tree-house for herself and her sister. She has two dogs, a cat, and a hedgehog to call her own. Lactose intolerance is a problem for her. In an interview, Grace Vanderwaal said that she just developed an allergy to dairy products and that she misses ice cream the most.
