Mandy Harvey Hits It Big
Mandy Harvey first gained notoriety when she appeared on Season 12 of America’s Got Talent where she finished fourth. America fell in love with her amazing story and the fact that she could sing and play instruments so beautifully despite being deaf. Amanda was born with hearing issues and ultimately lost her hearing due to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Despite losing her hearing entirely at age eighteen, she still studied vocal music education at Colorado State University. Amanda said she uses “visual tuners” to help find her pitch. Since participating in America’s Got Talent, she has published her memoir and continues pursuing music.
