Dylan Gilmer, also known as “Young Dylan,” already had a growing fan base prior to his AGT performance. As a rising star in the entertainment industry, he gained recognition for his rapping abilities and charming personality. He had appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and performed at major events, earning him a spot on the show’s Judge Cuts episode in 2019.
Performing his original track, “Humble,” Dylan proved that he was more than just a cute kid on stage—he was a serious talent with a message. His catchy lyrics, focused on staying grounded despite success, resonated with both the audience and the judges, showcasing his maturity and awareness at such a young age.
With his baseball cap turned backward and his oversized clothes that added to his youthful appeal, Dylan confidently took the stage and immediately won over the judges—Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Julianne Hough, and Gabrielle Union. But it wasn’t just his looks that impressed them. It was his undeniable talent.
