The charming 5-year-old jazz vocalist Sophie Fatu made her America’s Got Talent Season 13 audition.
Being the youngest competitor to ever appear on the competition, she created history.
With her rendition of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” the now 8-year-old has launched an incredible singing and acting career.
Sophie’s adorable appearance on the AGT stage in 2018 captured the attention of both the judges and the audience.
The sheer number of people who would be attending her performance astounded her.
Though he was more interested in Sophie being Eric’s girlfriend, Simon Cowell appreciated her performance.
After Sophie’s rendition of “New York, New York” in the Judge Cuts, Eric, who was stopping by the set, and she had a cute moment. Embarrassed by the whole thing, Eric fled.
More than 46 million people have watched her AGT audition. Sofie’s mother Vicky posted on her Instagram account in April 2020 stating that she is still awaiting a call from Eric.
Sophie Fatu, who stole the judges’ hearts on “AGT,” now releases original music
In 2019, Sophie gave a performance at Westbury Theater in New York alongside fellow participant Sal Valentinetti, following her rise to stardom on AGT.
She performed a few well-known holiday songs. She also dropped a much-anticipated rendition of Hamilton’s “You’ll Be Back” along with a music video.
Since she started releasing upbeat song covers from various genres on her YouTube channel, Sophie has received over 81 million views overall.
Sophie recorded her EP, Love is…, at Capitol Studios—the same facility that Frank Sinatra used—and published it in 2019.
A documentary that accompanied the EP’s creation was made available on YouTube. When she recorded the EP, she was six years old. Her record at Capitol Studios makes her the youngest artist ever to record there.
Actually, a few days after a cyberattack caused her Facebook profile to be removed, Love is… was supposed to be released, but it was delayed.
Alongside Chuck Berghofer, who recorded and toured with Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Peggy Lee, and Ray Charles, she recorded the song.
