Ah, something different. A fiery redhead with the guts that would put most of us to shame. Sofie Dossi here is as fearless as Bruce Wayne jumping out of the pits in The Dark Knight Rises. She’s not afraid of heights and she looks extremely good while doing that extreme stunt. Oh, and she is also flexible as she is also a contortionist. I know, I know… She is a dream girl. And there’s more to her than her looks and guts.
Who is Sofie Dossi
Sofie Dossi is a multi-talented American YouTuber, singer, actress, dancer, aerialist, and — most famously — a self-taught contortionist. She shot to stardom in 2016 on Season 11 of America’s Got Talent, where she wowed the judges (and the world) with her jaw-dropping flexibility and gravity-defying stunts.
Starting at just 12 years old, Sofie blended her background in gymnastics and dance with sheer determination to teach herself the art of contortion — and the hard work paid off in a big way. Today, she’s not just bending over backward (literally) onstage, but also sharing her talents with millions of fans across YouTube and TikTok, where her unique skills and lively personality have earned her a massive online following.
Her Early Life
Sofie Dossi was born on June 21, 2001, and grew up in Cypress, Southern California. Homeschooled by her mom, Abir, Sofie had a creative upbringing — with a family that fully supported her unique path. Her dad, Mike, helped build props and even worked as her road crew, while her older brother, Zak, became her YouTube producer and occasional co-star.
With Arab roots on her mother’s side and Italian heritage from her father, who’s originally from Brooklyn, New York, Sofie’s background is as colorful as her career.
She started out with gymnastics, dance, and classical piano, but everything changed when she stumbled on a Cirque du Soleil video and realized she could bend like the pros. At 12 years old, she began teaching herself contortion — copying moves she found online and even inventing some of her own. What began as fun performances for friends and family quickly turned into bookings for bigger events.
And for the record (despite what the internet likes to joke about), yes — Sofie absolutely does have a spine.
Career Journey
Sofie Dossi became a breakout star in 2016 at just 14 years old, when she appeared on Season 11 of America’s Got Talent. She wowed the judges and audience with her remarkable mix of flexibility, balance, and strength — including an unforgettable act where she shot a bow and arrow with her feet, all while doing a handstand.
Her daring performances only got bolder. During the Judge Cuts round, she performed an aerial hoop routine and fired a flaming arrow with her feet, earning her the coveted Golden Buzzer from guest judge Reba McEntire, which sent her straight to the live shows.
In the finals, Sofie delivered more stunning handstand and aerial hoop tricks but just missed the top five. Still, her journey with AGT didn’t end there. She returned in 2019 for America’s Got Talent: The Champions, where she finished in third place after an impressive aerial act.
Sofie has teamed up with other AGT stars too. In Season 14, she joined singer Bianca Ryan and violinist Brian King Joseph, showcasing her aerial skills during a live performance. She also reunited with Reba McEntire in Season 18 for a special finals show, mesmerizing viewers with her signature blend of contortion, hand-balancing, and aerial stunts while Reba performed “Can’t Even Get the Blues.”
In 2024, Sofie returned once again — this time on AGT: Fantasy League, where her mentor Heidi Klum hit the Golden Buzzer, propelling her straight to the finals. She brought something new to the table: a daring handstand routine on a rotating Wheel of Death. She made it to the finals but missed the top five — though not before joining the finale’s group performance, teaming up with fellow aerialist Aidan Bryant.
Later that same year, Sofie appeared as a guest performer on Season 19 of America’s Got Talent, combining her contortion, aerial, and hand-balance artistry with a live rendition of “Sunshine State of Mind” by singer Sara James during the semifinals results show — a fitting reminder that Sofie’s still got talent, and she’s not done bending expectations.
