Lola’s audition will be a family affair, as her mother, Carnie, father, Robert Bonfiglio, and aunt, Wendy Wilson, will be there to support her. In official American Idol photos, they can be seen standing proudly by her side as she faces the judges — Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Carrie Underwood.

Though coming from a musical family, Lola has worked to create her own sound. She often records covers and original songs on her social media, which showcase her vocal talent. Carnie has discussed her daughter’s talent on many occasions, explaining that she gets choked up when she hears her sing.

From small stage to National TV

American Idol may be the peak of Lola’s career thus far, but she is not a newcomer to performing. In 2021, she joined her mother, aunt, and grandfather on The Kelly Clarkson Show for a performance of “God Only Knows.” The heartfelt performance marked the first time three generations of Wilson musicians had shared the stage.

Lola appeared on Fox’s We Are Family in 2024, a music show where vocalists are afterward found to be relatives of well-known individuals. Her love for music has been evident since she was a child, and now American Idol could be the show that launches her into stardom. Viewers are on the edge of their seats, waiting to see what this star has next.
