It takes more than pitch perfect pipes to be a superstar. That’s why The Next Star is not your typical talent search—The Next Star scours the nation for six young hopefuls 15 and under with the talent and the determination to make it through superstar boot camp!

Instead, they will be put through a series of assignments and experiences, to see if they’ve got what it takes to handle the life of a superstar. These budding pop stars will learn everything from working with music producers and vocal coaches to writing their own hit songs, to learning the tricks of the stage.
