From auditions to live performances
The 16-year-old now ranks among the live acts of the current season. It is a massive leap after her earlier performances in front of the panel and the crowd.
Her first audition already won over viewers and the AGT judges. That earned her a spot at the so-called Judges’ Callbacks.
Muse cover steals the show
At the Callbacks, Nene sang Hysteria by Muse, showcasing both her voice and her guitar skills. The performance drew praise from the judges and spread fast online.
The band Muse themselves took notice. They shared the video of Nene’s Callback set on their own channels.
That boosted her profile with international fans, too.

Now Nene pushes forward on the America’s Got Talent stage. Audience support will play an even bigger role in how far she goes.
