Oscar Hernandez is 34 and comes from Glendale, Arizona. His parents split up when he was very young, and with his mom working long hours as a single mother, he was raised by his grandma 💃.
His grandma was the performer in the family, and she made him her little prodigy. Oscar knew early that performing was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.
Not everyone agreed. His father was very traditional and always told him that a guy his size should be playing football. Oscar tried sports to make his family happy, but it was never him. Performing was his true passion, the thing that was in his soul.
On the America’s Got Talent stage, he admitted he was a little nervous. The judges told him not to be and wished him luck. Then the music started, and Oscar exploded with energy 🔥. He strutted, spun and danced with so much attitude that the crowd was screaming.
The judges loved it. One joked about his cheerleader style moves and asked if the splits hurt his pom poms. Another said he had so much sass and swagger that he owned the whole stage, and nobody believed he would go down into the splits at the end. He did, and the room went wild.
Another judge told him the truth was simple: it was amazing, and said Oscar is the kind of person who could start a new trend. For the boy who was told to play football, it was the perfect answer ✨.
