Angelica Hale was born on July 31, 2007, and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. At the age of four, she faced a life-threatening challenge, contracting severe bacterial pneumonia that led to septic shock and multiple organ failure, including her kidneys. She was placed in a medically-induced coma and required ECMO life-support, spending 80 days in the hospital. After a year and a half on dialysis, she received a life-saving kidney transplant from her mother on September 13, 2013, at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Egleston and Emory University Hospital. Following her recovery, Hale began vocal lessons and quickly started performing for charitable functions such as Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
In 2017, Angelica Hale participated in season 12 of America’s Got Talent. She impressed judges with her rendition of “Rise Up” by Andra Day during auditions. In the Judge Cuts round, she earned a Golden Buzzer from guest judge Chris Hardwick for her performance of Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire,” securing her place in the live shows. She progressed through the quarterfinals and semifinals, performing songs like Zedd’s “Clarity” and David Guetta’s “Without You.” In the finals, she sang Clean Bandit’s “Symphony” and performed “Stronger” with Kelly Clarkson, ultimately finishing as the runner-up and youngest in the show’s history. She later returned for America’s Got Talent: The Champions in 2019, receiving another Golden Buzzer from Howie Mandel after singing Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song.”
Since her time on America’s Got Talent, Hale has maintained a active career in music and acting. She performed at the 2017 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and at various NFL games for teams like the Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers, and MLB’s Atlanta Braves. She released her debut single “Feel the Magic” in 2019, followed by several EPs including “Christmas Wonder” (2018), “Feel the Magic” (2019), “Joy to the World” (2019), and “What’s It Like” (2020). Her acting career includes the film “American Reject” and voicing the titular character in the animated series “Maya Unstoppable.” In 2023, she joined the pre-Broadway production of “Boop! The Musical” as Trisha, a role she is set to reprise on Broadway in 2025. She also serves as a national spokesperson for Sepsis Alliance’s “It’s About TIME” campaign and is a child ambassador for the National Kidney Foundation, using her platform to raise awareness.
