A worldwide sensation when she was only ten years old, Jackie Evancho is moving past the exuberant promise of a child prodigy vocalist, toward maturity as a singer, as a creative artist and as a young woman. Fresh from her spotlight performance of the National Anthem at the Presidential inauguration in January, she seizes the moment with the release of Two Hearts, the album not only features popular hits both old and new, and classical crossover Italian songs, but also Jackie's emerging gifts as a collaborative songwriter. With the release of Two Hearts, the amazing journey of Jackie Evancho reaches an exciting new place, both creatively and personally. The album's title says a lot about growth: Jackie's heart is always in the classical crossover singing her fans love, but she is discovering another facet of her work, her range and, thus, her heart - a love of songwriting and a new, expressive pop sound. Jackie Evancho's meteoric rise is already a show business legend. YouTube video stardom led to her spectacular, against-the-odds appearance on America's Got Talent in 2010 that delivered the heat and the promise of a new star, in a luminous performance of the beloved Puccini aria 'O mio babbino caro.' Her breakthrough was transformed quickly into the basis for a serious career. In less than a decade, Jackie has made seven chart-topping albums and DVDs, headlined three PBS television specials, appeared in the film The Company We Keep at the request of her co-star Robert Redford, and tirelessly toured the world, singing for Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, other world leaders and her fans everywhere. In addition to her solo success, Jackie has recorded duets with such notable artists as Tony Bennett, Susan Boyle, Il Volo, Pl cido Domingo, Barbra Streisand, Chris Botti, The Tenors and Joshua Bell.
