Who is Pranysqa Mishra from? America’s Got Talent?

Pranysqa Mishra is a 9-year-old singer from Tampa, Florida. She brought her mother, father and little sister to her America’s Got Talent audition, which she admittedly felt nervous about. In her introductory package, the young girl explained that she has always loved singing and started singing at the age of 4. She added that her grandmother is one of her biggest supporters. “My grandma always tells me to sing with all my heart and that one day I will be on a big stage,” she said. Her little sister then interrupted the interview and told Pranysqa that she wanted her to get the coveted Golden Buzzer. “I’ll try, but it’s pretty hard,” she replied.

After taking the stage and introducing herself, Pranysqa told the judges that she was “scared” to perform but also “really excited.” She then revealed that if the audition went well, her grandmother would be the first to be called. “She always wanted me to be on this big stage and now I’m finally here,” she said.

Judge Heidi Klum then asked if the audience was ready to hear her sing, and after a resounding “yes,” Pranysqa surprised everyone with a powerful rendition of Tina Turner’s 1966 hit “River Deep Mountain High.” The budding singer hit every note flawlessly and had a lively stage presence, too. By the time she got to the chorus, the entire audience was on their feet.

Every judge was blown away by Pranysqa’s singing, but Klum was particularly impressed. Before she even let the other judges speak, she said to Pranysqa, “Oh my God, I didn’t expect that. We expect a lot of things, but I didn’t expect that. And you know what I’m going to do now, because I honestly don’t want to hear what Howie, Sofia and Simon have to say? I want you to call your grandmother and say that Heidi Klum pressed the Golden Buzzer for you.” Then the typical golden confetti started raining down on Pranysqa and the little girl started crying.
