Before even releasing her debut album, VanderWaal was named by Billboard as among the promising artists under the age of 21. (Read: ‘America’s Got Talent’ winner Grace VanderWaal named among Billboard’s 21 under 21 )

VanderWaal’s golden-buzzer audition piece, “I Don’t Know My Name,” made an impression with Cowell, who predicted that she would become the next Taylor Swift.

She secured a spot in the semifinals with another original tune “Beautiful Thing,” while her “Light the Sky” cemented her spot on the Top 10. Her finale act “Clay,” propelled her to victory. Videos of her AGT performances went viral on YouTube.

VanderWaal is set to perform live at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Oct. 27 to 29 with fellow AGT contestants.
