Jackie Evancho

Jackie Evancho is a gifted soprano singer who went from child prodigy to platinum-selling classical crossover phenomenon. After appearing on the fifth season of America's Got Talent, Evancho became a worldwide sensation. Debuting in 2009 with Prelude to a Dream, Evancho has seen eight consecutive studio albums reach number one on the U.S. classical albums chart. In 2022, she issued Carousel of Time, a collection of Joni Mitchell covers. Like Hayley Westenra and Charlotte Church before her, Evancho's vocal talents were evident from a young age. A Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native, Evancho (who also plays violin and piano) began taking vocal lessons in 2008 at the age of eight. By 2010, she had already breezed through a local singing contest; started her own social media channel; released her independent debut album, Prelude to a Dream, and held the record as the world's youngest opera singer. It was on the heels of such achievements that Evancho won a spot on the fifth season of NBC's America's Got Talent. While on the show, the then-ten-year-old wowed audiences and judges alike with a technical skill, lyricism, and stage presence that belied her age. Ultimately, however, she finished in second place behind Michael Grimm. Following her run on America's Got Talent, Evancho released the holiday EP/concert film O Holy Night on Columbia Records. In spring 2011, Evancho delivered Dream with Me, her full-length (non-seasonal) debut, which was produced by David Foster and featured a mix of arias, show tunes, and pop classics. Jackie Evancho: Dream with Me in Concert, a live performance of the songs that first captured the hearts of her audiences, along with new classical crossover selections, followed that fall. Released just a few months after Dream with Me, the ten-track Heavenly Christmas revisited the Yuletide splendor of 2009's O Holy Night. In 2012, Evancho returned with Songs from the Silver Screen, featuring her renditions of classic movie themes. Her fifth full-length album, 2014's Awakening, was preceded by the singles "Think of Me" and "The Rains of Castamer," the former from Phantom of the Opera and the latter a take on the brooding Game of Thrones ballad. The LP debuted at number 17 on the Billboard 200 chart and number one on the Billboard Classical Albums chart. In 2016, Evancho released her second collection of holiday music, Someday at Christmas. Arriving in the spring of 2017, her next album, the double-LP Two Hearts, remained on the Billboard Classical Albums chart for 36 weeks. The first included ten classical crossover tracks of the type she'd become known for, while the second part was in the form of a five-song EP of more pop-oriented originals, four of which were co-written by Evancho. In 2019, she issued The Debut, which found her covering songs from a handful of hit Broadway productions including Hamilton, The Greatest Showman, Waitress, and others. 2020 saw Evancho release a cover of Joni Mitchell's "River," followed by three more Mitchell covers, "A Case of You," "Both Sides Now," and "Blue," all of which appeared on 2022's Carousel of Time.
