Singer, concert artist, actress, and model, Jackie Evancho is a platinum selling recording artist that first became a worldwide sensation at the age of 10 years old with her stunning debut performance singing "O Mio Babbino Caro" on season 5 of NBC's America's Got Talent (AGT).
A career that began with a little girl's fascination with the film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera has led Billboard to twice include Jackie on its list of "music movers-and-shakers under the age of 21" due, in part to the history she has made along the way - the youngest solo platinum artist - the youngest top 5 debut artist ever in the U.K - the highest ranking debut artist of 2010 - and a Guinness World Record as the youngest person to ever have a US Top 3 album.
It was that first performance that led to her breakthrough from YouTube star to serious career artist. In only slightly over a decade, Jackie has made ten chart topping albums and DVDs, headlined three successful PBS television specials, co-starred in the film The Company You Keep, at the request of the star of the film, Robert Redford, appeared in a Guess clothing campaign at the request of Guess owner Paul Marciano, tirelessly toured the world singing for Presidents, other world leaders, at world events, and to her fans everywhere.
In addition to her solo success, Jackie has recorded and/or performed duets with such notable artists as Tony Bennett, Barbara Streisand, Placido Domingo, Josh Groban, Chris Botti, Joshua Bell, Il Volo, David Foster, Andrea Bocelli, and José Carreras to name a few.
"I have had so much fun and done so many challenging things" Jackie said at the end of 2012. Those "fun" and "challenging" things continue to this day. Since that quote Jackie Evancho sang for Pope Francis 1 during his US visit and a few years before, sang for - and delighted- President Barack Obama and his family during the lighting of the National Christmas Tree. Two months later she was invited again to perform for the President and Congressional leaders during the National Prayer Breakfast. She was also invited to open Oprah Winfrey's farewell special with a duet performance of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" with Josh Groban and Patti LaBelle. She also represented the US in Russia at the opening of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum where she performed in front of over 100,000 people prior to the Forum's opening, singing with two international opera stars, Russia's Dmitri Hvorostovsky, and South Korea's Sumi Jo.
In 2017 Jackie and her family appeared in a reality TLC TV special, 'Growing Up Evancho' to give the world a glimpse of life since her first appearance on America's Got Talent. A couple of years later the world saw the emergence of a maturing Jackie Evancho starting with her much anticipated return to AGT - The Champions where she again stunned audiences with her rendition of Barbara Streisand's "Somewhere" in which Jackie recorded that version for here album "The Debut" which put her in the unique position of bringing a young woman's perspective to this stunning repertoire while becoming one of the great voices of contemporary musical theatre.
In 2020 Jackie appeared as "The Kitty" on FOX's The Masked Singer where she immediately became a crowd favorite through her amazing vocal and playful persona. This re-introduced audiences to not only a master of classical vocals but showed the world that she is masterful within any genre of music.
During the pandemic Jackie explored a new direction within her craft and began songwriting. In doing so she realized that she wanted to pay homage to one of the greatest song writers of our time, Joni Mitchell. Her most recent album "Carousel Of Time" just does that and has received high praise from the music industry.
Jackie currently share her time and talents lending support to various foundations as well a being a proud supporter of her transgender sister Juliet and the entire lgbtq community.
