Donny’s Biography

As part of the legendary duo Donny & Marie, Osmond headlined one of Las Vegas’s most successful residencies, performing more than 1,700 shows and solidifying his place as a Las Vegas entertainment staple.

Today, Donny’s award-winning residency at Harrah’s Las Vegas—honored multiple times as Best Resident Headliner and Best Production—continues to be one of the most acclaimed shows on the Strip. In fact, Donny and Caesars Entertainment recently announced an extension of this highly successful residency into 2026, marking his fifth year at Harrah’s. The production features high-energy choreography, a powerhouse live band, eight dynamic dancers, and stunning lighting and video design. A highlight of the show is the fan-favorite request segment, where audience members can ask for any song from any of Donny’s 65 albums, making every performance completely unique and tailored to what the audience wants to hear.

One of the most talked-about elements of the show is Donny’s AI duet segment, in which he performs his hit “Puppy Love” alongside his 14-year-old self. Unlike the hologram technology used by many artists, Donny wanted to create something entirely different—something more innovative, more personal, and far more emotionally resonant.

Using advanced AI and CGI technology, hundreds of photos of Donny at age 14 were scanned to accurately reconstruct his teenage face, while custom algorithms—trained from isolated vocal tracks from old recordings—authentically replicate his youthful voice. The physical performance, however, is provided by Donny’s real 14-year-old grandson, Daxton, whose natural movement brings the recreated persona to life.

This technological fusion brings Donny’s “Puppy Love” era back to the stage in a way never before seen. The duet is widely described as a “showstopper,” “mind-blowing,” and deeply nostalgic. In one especially touching moment, the AI Donny affectionately calls the present-day Donny “grandpa,” blending family connection with breakthrough innovation.

Media outlets have praised the segment as a brilliant example of using AI as a creative tool—never a substitute—allowing Donny to share the stage with his past self in a way that resonates powerfully with longtime fans and new audiences alike.

Osmond starred for six years in the wildly successful touring production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, performing more than 2,000 shows and earning a hugely successful DVD release. He has hosted multiple national television series and was the beloved Peacock who became the very first performer to launch the hit show The Masked Singer, ultimately finishing as the runner-up to T-Pain

Donny reached another extraordinary milestone in his career on Season 9 of Dancing With the Stars, where he was crowned champion of the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy. At the height of the show’s popularity—drawing an estimated 37 million viewers each week—audiences across America voted Donny and his partner Kym Johnson to victory, creating one of the most memorable and celebrated wins in the show’s history. He also recently launched the official Donny Osmond app, offering fans exclusive access to music, videos, and behind-the-scenes content. With a global fanbase and an unwavering passion for reinvention, Osmond continues to inspire audiences of all ages.

A dedicated husband, father, and grandfather, Donny attributes his greatest successes to his family and the loyal supporters who have stood by him throughout his extraordinary career.
