Since 2019, she has made appearances on numerous popular shows such as Little Big Shots, Wonderama, and Dr. Phil. Last year, she made history after all the judges and hosts gave her the Golden Buzzer during America’s Got Talent Season 16.

The girl, who lives with her parents and 10 siblings in Pennsylvania, US, showed interest in singing when she was a toddler and was encouraged by her mother who recognised her talent. Brinker, who was adopted as a baby, told the Guinness World Record, “I sing in the morning, in the shower, at dinner, at school, and even when I’m falling asleep. My family says I even sing in my sleep!”.

She is working hard to improve her singing by rehearsing new pieces with a coach twice a week and practising every day with her mother.

In India, Nidish V B, a seven-year-old boy from Tamil Nadu broke the Guinness World Record earlier this month after he identified 60 DC Comics characters in one minute. Additionally, on March 20, 2022, para-swimmer Jiya Rai created history by becoming the youngest and fastest female swimmer in the world to swim across the Palk Strait.
