A powerhouse voice, undeniable talent and a star in the making!
Immi Davis first captured the nation’s attention at just nine years old when she reached the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent in 2022. Her electrifying performance of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ classic I Put a Spell on You earned a standing ovation from the judges, showcasing a voice and stage presence far beyond her years.
A naturally gifted performer, Immi began busking in Westminster at just eight years old before honing her craft at the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School. Since then, she has continued to build an impressive performance portfolio, appearing at festivals including Chilfest and Goatfest, opening for The Greatest Showman star Loren Allred, and performing the National Anthem at the proclamation of King Charles III’s accession.
Alongside her captivating live performances, Immi is establishing herself as an original recording artist, with releases including New Day, World of Dreams, Out There, Storm and Believe. With a growing online following and a voice that commands attention, she continues to prove that she is far more than a TV talent show discovery.
