PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: During the Tuesday, August 20, episode of 'America's Got Talent' Season 19, viewers were treated to a heartwarming moment as the three siblings from Biko’s Manna delivered a touching homage to former 'AGT' champion Grace VanderWaal. Competing in the quarterfinals, the talented trio Biko's Manna captivated the audience and judges with a mesmerizing performance of VanderWaal's song 'Clearly,' demonstrating both their musical prowess and deep admiration for the young artist who previously won the competition.

The heartfelt rendition served as a beautiful tribute, highlighting the enduring impact of Grace VanderWaal’s artistry on fellow musicians. For those unfamiliar, Grace VanderWaal emerged as the winner of 'America's Got Talent' Season 11 way back in 2016. At just 12 years old, this young and original artist captivated audiences and even caught the attention of Taylor Swift with her impressive ukulele skills, charming voice, and deeply resonant lyrics. VanderWaal's talent was recognized with a Golden Buzzer, propelling her forward in the competition. She continued to shine throughout the season, ultimately securing the grand prize and earning a headlining show in Las Vegas.
