Jessica Sanchez won AMERICA’S GOT TALENT last year, and the new mom hasn’t slowed down the pace.
She gave birth to her daughter less than a month after her win and now has a new album out, which was released on May 8, TV Insider reported. The album, Szn, features 8 tracks.
The Filipina also has a large show coming up in Manila on May 16 at the Araneta Coliseum, where she will perform for 15,000.
“I’m really, really excited for this show…” Sanchez shared on Instagram. “We’ve been putting so much into it, and I feel like it’s going to be one of those nights you just feel from start to finish. I can’t wait to be back on stage and share this with you guys.”
Of her time on AGT, she said, “I just felt this immense peace, like, ‘I’m ready to do this. I took the leap, and I found out that I was pregnant a couple days later, but it didn’t really hinder me from wanting to take that next step back on that stage.”

Being pregnant while competing actually encouraged Sanchez because she got to perform with her child.
“It’s like a once-in-a-lifetime thing,” she said.
For Mother’s Day, she shared photos of herself with her baby, Eliana.
“My very first Mother’s Day…and celebrating it while traveling makes it even more unforgettable. 🤍 Being a mom has been the greatest blessing of my life,” she captioned the post. “So grateful for my baby, this journey, and all the love surrounding us today. ✨🌷 Happy Mothers Day Everyone 🥰”
A few days after Eliana was born, Sanchez said, “From one dream season to the next. This time, the most precious one yet. We are grateful beyond words for our baby girl, for the gift of motherhood, and for the love that grows deeper every day. 🥰”
The singer recently shared that she’s had to relearn how to sing post-pregnancy.
“Priorities are very different now, but also it has affected my singing too. All of the hormones have been changing my vocal cords and everything. So I’ve been having to like relearn how to sing and breathe,” she said.
On Jan. 1, she reflected on 2025 as one of the best of her life.
“My heart is overflowing with gratitude,” Sanchez said. “None of this would have been possible without God’s grace, my family, my amazing team, and every single one of you who has supported, prayed for, and believed in me through every season.”
“This year changed me forever, as an artist, as a woman, and as a mother,” she continued in her reflection. “I am so excited for everything the new year holds.”
Sanchez first auditioned for AGT as a 10-year-old. Two decades later, she’s living her dream.
