Us The Duo - America's Got Talent Recap

“Us the Duo” took the music world and audience by storm with their stellar musical performances on ‘America’s Got Talent’. The pair met in 2011 on the set of a music video and became the best of friends. It wasn’t long before they were married and performing as husband and wife. Unlike some of the contestants on AGT, “Us the Duo” have quite the extensive musical performance resumé. Their smooth sound and charming connection on stage made them a clear choice for the television talent series.

Michael and Carissa Alvarado began their joint musical career creating Vines (short video clips) of their cover music. Quickly gaining a massive following, it wasn’t long before this team found themselves on popular talk shows. With such exceptional talent it was no surprise that they went on a successful tour with Pentatonix in 2016.

With a unique folksy sound, Us the Duo easily made their way into the semi-finals of AGT before being eliminated. But the impression they left on the viewers and the music industry was huge. The pair captured hearts with their song choices and passion in performance. Both are incredibly talented musicians and were seen performing on multiple instruments throughout the competition.

But it wasn’t just their musical ability that the audience connected with. During the filming of the show, Carissa was pregnant and audiences loved following along with their family’s love story. Their beautiful baby girl Xyla Rose was born October 8! We hope that this stunning family continue to be blessed and that Xyla grows up to love and appreciate music as much as her talented parents do!
