Sofie Clarice Dossi (born June 21, 2001) is an American contortionist and YouTuber. In 2016, she rose to fame on the eleventh season of America's Got Talent. As of May 2023[update], her YouTube channel has 8.7 million subscribers and 1.6 billion views.
Dossi grew up in the city of Cypress in southern California. She was homeschooled from a young age by her mother, Abir. Her father, Mike, has helped with her career by designing props and roadying, and her older brother, Zak, produces and appears in her YouTube videos. She is of Arab descent on her mother's side and Italian on her father's side.
As a child, Dossi took gymnastics and dance lessons and learned classical piano. When she found that she was able to flex similarly to the contortionist in a Cirque du Soleil video, she began at age 12 to teach herself contortion by emulating poses that she found on YouTube and inventing new poses.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). Her first performance included shooting a bow and arrow with her feet while doing a handstand. After another performance that featured an aerial hoop routine and shooting a flaming arrow from a bow with her feet, guest judge Reba McEntire awarded her the "Golden Buzzer". In the season finals, she did another routine with handstand tricks and an aerial hoop but did not make the cut for the last five. She returned to the series in 2019 for the first season of AGT: The Champions.
