Hailing from Kazakhstan, since very early in her life, Daneliya has been conquering the hearts of millions with her voice e. By the time she auditioned for “AGT”, she was already well-known from participating in and winning several TV talent shows in Europe.
Though Daneliya didn’t take the “AGT” winning spot, she’s so unforgettable that fans haven’t stopped wondering what’s going on with her these days, and whether she’ll ever return to any talent show.

Where Is She Now?
Following her stint in the 15th season of “America’s Got Talent”, Daneliya Tuleshova has been actively working on taking her career to new levels. In 2022, Daneliya independently released an album entitled “Essential Covers”, which contained 13 cover songs.
Later, in 2023, Daneliya released several original songs, including “Trouble,” and “Cynical”. The singer described the latter as meant for girls ‘who don’t care about random people’s opinions’. All of her music videos and songs have achieved moderate success on music streaming services, and on YouTube, attracting over a million subscribers by early 2025.
Nowadays, Daneliya has been living in Boston, Massachusetts since 2022. As she confessed to Elle Kazakhstan, she moved to the US alone when she was only 16 years old, and became independent right away. She matriculated from Brookline High School in mid-2024.

It’s unclear what Daneliya’s higher education plans are, but in the meantime, she seems very content about working on music and enjoying life. As seen in her highly popular Instagram account, it isn’t rare for Daneliya to go on vacations with her friends, and attend events related to the entertainment industry, such as the party for Netflix’s movie “Culpa Mia” in late 2024.
All in all, there’s still a lot of room for Daneliya’s career to grow, she’s doing her best to move forward, while keeping herself away from the “America’s Got Talent” spotlight.
Solo Career
In 2021, Daneliya was signed under 4 Chords Records. She was 14 years old at the time and her “America’s Got Talent” stint was still fresh in everyone’s mind, including that of producer Rich Fayden, who told the site PRWeb that he had been following Daneliya’s career for a while and saw her quick improvement as a vocalist and performer throughout the years.
Under 4 Chords Records, Daneliya released the singles “Like You Used To” and “Lucky Me” Despite the moderate media coverage that Daneliya got for these releases, it’s unclear what happened to her deal with the label, as her music from that time is no longer available on any music platform and the videos were erased from YouTube.
Despite the uncertainty about her previously released music, that wasn’t enough to deter Daneliya from making more In 2023, she resumed her career by releasing the independently recorded album “Essential Covers”, which contains 13 songs.
Later that year, she released the extended play (EP) “Trouble” and became known as ‘Daneliya’ alone. As she confessed in an interview with Elle Kazakhstan in late 2023, she got rid of her surname in her artistic identity to make it easier for international audiences to remember her name.
More Music
Daneliya’s “Trouble” marked the beginning of her affiliation with the music label VANNS Music. Under this company, she has been releasing music non-stop since 2023, including the singles “Tied”, “Cynical”, “It’s Only Pain”, “Memories” and “Bye Bye Baby”.
Regarding this new chapter of her career, Daneliya told Elle Kazakhstan that she had recently begun exploring her songwriting abilities and was enjoying it a lot. On top of that, she admitted wanting to portray her own experiences in her music from now on.
That said, Daneliya’s recent music is an aesthetically far cry from the image she had back in her “America’s Got Talent” days. The music video for “Cynical” shows a darker, cyber-punk-inspired side of her that wasn’t seen before, while “It’s Only Pain” and “Bye Bye Baby” also portray a more mature side of Daneliya.
Out of her released music, the EP “Trouble” and single “Tied” have been the most successful ones according to stream platform numbers. However, all of her music videos have attracted as many as hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, which are only rivaled by the covers she has shared since starting her channel in 2015. She has also been featured by important media platforms such as Billboard.
Return To TV
It’s been a long time since we last saw Daneliya Tuleshova in “America’s Got Talent”. Before auditioning for the show in 2020, the young singer was already well-known in Europe for winning “The Voice Kids Ukraine”, becoming the youngest show winner at 10 years old in 2017.
Besides taking part in several music events, Daneliya was placed sixth at the 2018 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, where she represented Kazakhstan. Her first appearance on American TV was in “The World’s Best” in 2019, and gained Daneliya the confidence to audition for “America’s Got Talent” season 15th in 2020. She was placed sixth in the competition, but keeping up with more mature and experienced singers was a ‘confidence booster’, as Daneliya admitted in a 2021 interview.
In early 2023, Daneliya eventually returned to the “America’s Got Talent” stage, though this time it was in the spin-off “All-Stars”, which showcased highly popular and successful acts from all seasons. Unfortunately, Daneliya’s rendition of Duncan Laurence’s “Arcade” wasn’t enough to gain her the audience’s votes, but was a kind reminder of how much she had improved since the last time she was in the show.
All in all, Daneliya has had quite an eventful path since she debuted in “America’s Got Talent”, but her career certainly isn’t close to slowing down any time soon.
