t’s been a whirlwind since young Grace VanderWaal won not only Season 11 of NBC’s hit show America’s Got Talent but the hearts of America and teens across the country. Recording, filming music videos, winning awards (namely the Rising Star Award From Billboard’s Women in Music), traveling, touring, attending school, inking a record deal with Columbia Records, being named as Billboard‘s 21 Under 21, and garnering an endorsement with Fender for a new line of her own signature line of ukuleles due out this Spring. VanderWaal released her first EP Perfectly Imperfect December of 2016 followed by a full studio album Just the Beginning in November of 2017. Those two albums have produced hit songs “I Don’t Know My Name” which was her audition song which prompted Howie Mandel to hit “The Golden Buzzer,” “Moonlight,” “Burned,” “Gossip Girl,” and “So Much More Than This.”
