Overview
Maher began her career on the third season of the American television reality show America's Got Talent when she reached the top ten. Producers from the show first became aware of Maher from a video that was uploaded to the popular video sharing website YouTube. The video had been made after she had been asked to sing at a birthday party. Five months after the video had been made, Maher's parents received a call from NBC's America's Got Talent asking if Maher would be able to audition for the third season.
