Then she bought one herself, using money she received for her 11th birthday, and watched more videos to teach herself how to play. She asked for one for her 11th birthday but her mother refused, thinking she would never learn to play it. As a preteen, she found songwriting inspiration by watching movies and trying to imagine what a character was feeling, and 'what it would be like if I were them, and wrote a song.' She decided to learn the ukulele after watching a Brazilian au pair play and seeing a Twenty One Pilots video on YouTube. VanderWaal began singing and making up songs at the age of three. She is set to graduate from the Laurel Springs School in 2022. After winning America's Got Talent in 2016, VanderWaal was home-schooled and enrolled in online courses for 7th grade but later attended public school part of the time.

VanderWaal was born near Kansas City, Kansas, to Tina and David VanderWaal, who lived in Lenexa at the time.
