WHAT IT IS: Just last year, the young breakout star was crowned the champion of America’s Got Talent, using all original music and her signature ukulele sound. Grace has since performed on AGT, Radio Disney Music Awards, Ellen, Fallon, Today and more. Her debut EP was released in December of 2016, claiming stake as the best-selling EP of the year. This year, she released her infectious single, which has amassed 15m+ video views and 20m global streams, and a debut album and sold-out headline tour are scheduled to come later this fall. VanderWaal, who continues to grow her social fanbase of 5m, won Best New Artist at the RDMAs and Choice Next Big Thing at the Teen Choice Awards.
