About

The annual YOUNG STARS SHOWCASE (YSS) was created by the Aventura Marketing Council / Chamber of Commerce (AMC) in 2010 to become their signature event to benefit the AMC Education Foundation. Each year, the YSS features extraordinary young singers from throughout South Florida, and some of our Young Stars are already headed to stardom.

our mission

In 2010, we were fortunate to have two amazing young boys among our Young Stars. ....Nick Merico and Josh Grosso. It was obvious that both of these young men were destined for great careers. Nick Merico starred in Nickelodeon's most popular teen-aged show, "Every Witch Way", and was a finalist in American Idol and is writing and singing his original songs, with agents in both Los Angeles and New York. Josh Grosso received a full scholarship to Carnegie Mellon, where he won the Jimmy Award and Broadway or Bust competition... a talent who is already on Broadway. Cameron Wheeler a/k/a Camie Liz has risen to stardom after winning the nationwide iHeartRadio MusicHouse Competition and opened for Billie Iilish, Katy Perry and more in Los Angeles.  Mason Pace, a Gibson Guitars endorsed mistic medal artist with a touring band, has been on 3 mayor national tours. And through the years, we have reatured other amazing young singers who competed in "The Voice", "American Idol" and "America's Got Talent". It has been our privilege to help nurture these talented youngsters as they follow their dreams into the performing arts world.
