At just 9 years old, King Moore is already moving like a young mogul in the making. This week, the kid rapper lit up the America’s Got Talent stage, wowing the judges and the crowd with a high-energy original performance that earned him a standing ovation — and four “yes” votes from the panel.
Before dropping bars, the mini music mogul introduced himself with a big list of dreams: starring in movies, traveling the world, and even having his own TV show.
Rocking the mic with “Pen Game”—a track he wrote at the age of six—King unleashed a rapid-fire flow that immediately caught the attention of the crowd and judges alike.
All four judges gave him the green light. Mel B called out his “swag, rhythm, and confidence,” Sofia Vergara dubbed him “a star in the making,” and Simon Cowell didn’t hold back, labeling the performance “brilliant.” Meanwhile, backstage, King’s dad was moved to tears after the “yes” votes came in.
‘America’s Got Talent’ is Not King Moore’s First Rodeo
But King Moore’s shine didn’t start on the AGT stage. This kid’s already got a résumé that most adults would envy. He’s landed roles in feature films like Cora Bora and The Wild Robot, voiced a lead character on CoComelon (aka one of the most-streamed kids’ shows on Earth), and popped up in national ad campaigns for brands like AT&T and Toyota.
He’s also been outside—literally. King’s shared stages with fellow youth stars like That Girl Lay Lay and Young Dylan, hit The Tamron Hall Show twice, and most recently co-hosted the 2025 Honda Battle of the Bands at SoFi Stadium with none other than Nick Cannon.
And get this: he told the AGT judges that if he won the prize money, he’d use it to take his family on a cruise. A real one.
King Moore might be nine, but he’s moving like a young legend in the making. With bars, stage presence, and vision to match, don’t be surprised if you start seeing his name everywhere very, very soon.
