America’s Got Talent:
In 2017, Angelica competed in season 12 of America's Got Talent, where she made it past the auditions round with her rendition of "Rise Up" by Andra Day. In the Judge Cuts round, Angelica was given a golden buzzer by guest judge Chris Hardwick, after covering "Girl on Fire" by Alicia Keys, sending her directly to the live shows. During the live shows, she sang "Clarity" by Zedd in the Quarterfinals and "Without You" by David Guetta for her Semifinals performance. Angelica advanced to the Finals where she performed "Symphony" by Clean Bandit. For the finale results episode, she performed "Stronger" with Kelly Clarkson and fellow contestant Kechi Okwuchi. She finished the competition in second place, becoming the youngest runner-up in the show's history.

Notable Performances:
Besides competing in season 12 of America’s Got Talent where she finished as the youngest runner-up in the show’s history, she has been a featured performer in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, Dr. Martin Luther King commemoration, performed for the Atlanta Falcons (NFL), Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL), Atlanta Braves (MLB), US Open (Tennis), and Ottawa Senators (NHL), while also appearing on several TV shows, such as Little Big Shots, Today Show, Access Hollywood, Pickler & Ben, Harry, Hallmark Channel, and numerous affiliated news/morning shows.

Health Problems Early in Life:
In 2012, when Angelica was 4 years old, she became very ill with double pneumonia due to an aggressive Strep Pneumococcal bacterial infection. She desperately needed life-saving medical intervention and was put on ECMO life-support at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. She went septic and experienced multiple organ failure, including her kidneys which did not recover. Hemodialysis and later peritoneal dialysis became her new normal. After 80 straight days in the hospital, from near-death to long road to recovery, Angelica finally made it home, but her life was forever changed. After a year and a half of dialysis, Angelica was ready for the biggest surgery of her life – her Kidney Transplant. The donor kidney would come from none other than her mother. On September 13, 2013, Angelica and her mom underwent a successful kidney transplantation surgery at two remarkable hospitals across the street from each other – Emory University Hospital and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Angelica has flourished ever since.

Partner Organizations:
Angelica loves to give back and uses her platform and voice to benefit her partner non-profit organizations of which she is the kid ambassador of the National Kidney Foundation and celebrity advocate for the Sepsis Alliance and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. She has also performed for and supported the following organizations: David Foster Foundation, Celebrity Fight Night, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Lisa Colagrossi Foundation, Girl Scouts, Organ Project, British Columbia Children’s Hospital, El Paso Children’s Hospital, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America, Lion’s International, Living Bank, & Gateway for Cancer Research.
