Born as the second child of two, her mother works as a Pilates instructor while her father is an entrepreneur who has his own company. Through exposure to her mother’s work as a Pilates instructor, Sofie Dossi grew up falling in love with body contortion activities like dance and gymnastics.

Her first performance was eating an apple and shooting an arrow with her feet, which drew applause from the judges. Her second performance was the clincher that sent her to the coveted live show, where she won the golden buzzer through another outstanding performance.

However, it wasn’t a complete disappointment as her run on the show introduced her to the world, especially millions of Americans and she has gone on to take advantage of the exposure by launching her own YouTube channel, Sofie Dossi.
