Seventeen-year-old Tyson Venegas of Port Moody, B.C., has been making waves in Hollywood with his performances on Season 21 of American Idol.
But long before that he was making waves in the local music scene even winning a major talent show in Vancouver when he was just seven years old.
On Sunday, Venegas advanced to the show's top 10 for the season, and is considered a standout among this year's slate of contestants.
He made headlines early this year when he wowed judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan, and received the season's first Platinum Ticket for his cover of Billy Joel and Tony Bennett's New York State of Mind.
