Top 10 Best Teenage Singers
Some singers don't need to wait until adulthood to make a huge impact in the music world. Plenty of artists have proven that talent has no age limit, delivering impressive vocals, chart-topping hits, and unforgettable performances while still in their teenage years. From pop stars to soulful vocalists, some of the biggest names in music started their careers as teenagers, showing incredible skill and confidence well before turning twenty.This list highlights artists who either got their start or reached major success before reaching adulthood. Some gained massive followings on social media before breaking into mainstream music, while others shot to fame through reality shows, viral moments, or early record deals. No matter how they got there, they all stood out for their vocal ability and stage presence at a young age.
She gained national recognition as a child opera singer after finishing as the runner-up on America's Got Talent in 2010. Her debut studio album Prelude to a Dream was released in 2009, followed by multiple chart-topping classical crossover albums. By her teenage years, she had performed at high-profile events, including a presidential inauguration. Jackie quietly and methodically continues to raise the bar on her singing abilities. The latest album, "Awakening," showcases a voice that continues to grow stronger while her 'genius' interpretive skills are on full display.
To those who question her singing skills, please direct your comments to the 'hitman' David Foster, a legendary musical producer and writer who continues to invite Jackie to appear in major singing events such as A Night With Andrea Bocelli in Thailand this April. Not bad for a 14-year-old.
She signed with Universal Music Group as a young teenager and gained attention with her debut EP The Love Club (2012). Her breakout single Royals (2013) became a global hit and won two Grammy Awards. By the end of her teenage years, she had released her first studio album, Pure Heroine, and established herself as a major pop artist. I think, unlike so many teenage artists at the moment, Lorde is a good role model for all teens. She is a feminist, meaning she supports the equal rights of men and women. She is opinionated and constantly speaks her mind, and she isn't fake. She is authentic and unique and doesn't care what people think of her, calling herself a creep all the time.
She believes that everyone is flawed, and that's okay, as seen from her photos on Instagram with acne. Lorde's lyrics are also really relevant and meaningful in our society. Lorde is a strong, independent young woman - a role model.
He rose to fame in his early teens by posting song covers on the video-sharing app Vine. His debut single Life of the Party (2014) made him one of the youngest artists to debut in the Billboard Hot 100's top 25. By the time he was a teenager, he had released multiple hit singles and a successful debut album, Handwritten (2015). Is he a good country singer? At sixteen, he took on country music. Never Be Alone, Aftertaste, Crazy, Air, and Strings are examples of his songs that follow the genre of country music. He increases the use of guitar in his songs, giving them some country music flair. Finally, he is inspired by Taylor Alison Swift for his music. She is also his idol. Even Air is to the tune of Taylor Swift's debut single Tim McGraw.
He is amazing! His voice brings joy to many, and the fact that he plays the guitar during his concerts is amazing as it is rare nowadays! Another fantastic thing about him is that he writes his own music! He does all this and he's just 17! He even started at an extremely young age and is now winning many awards. He deserves them! He is definitely the best teenage singer!
Jessica Sanchez gained national attention as a teenager when she became the runner-up on the eleventh season of American Idol in 2012. Following the show, she released her debut single "Tonight" featuring Ne-Yo in 2013. Her debut album, "Me, You & the Music," was also released in 2013, showcasing her vocal range and pop-R&B style. It's just crazy she's not higher on this list when clearly she's the best singer of the bunch and also one of the best singers I've heard in a while. Her voice is so different. I've never heard something like that in my life from such a young person.
She can sing big, classic songs and also put her own twist on them.
She's amazing! Her voice is unusual. Jessica should win American Idol. She's better than Phillip.
This girl is one of the best. She's the new generation's diva, or should I say, queen. She will be BIG someday.
He first gained popularity as a teenager by posting covers of popular songs on YouTube. His growing fanbase led to a recording contract and the release of singles such as Say Somethin' and What About Love in the early 2010s. His music career continued to develop with the release of EPs and collaborations with major artists. I like his personality. He is quiet and has a great sense of humor, but to be honest, I don't like him as a singer. He certainly has some sort of talent, but his songs are trashy pop songs with no meaning, like Justin Bieber or One Direction songs.
I think he should do something he really wants and loves because we don't need the "new Justin Bieber." We need original artists.
Austin is the best. He should be at the top. Austin is a phenomenal person and has an amazing personality. His voice is like an angel singing. Austin has the most awesome clothes!
He has influenced millions of people - children, teenagers, and adults. Be sure to buy his album. It's the best ever. Not to forget, he is the hottest teenage boy and will stay there for a while. Austin is super cute, really funny, a great basketball player, and he should win all awards.
Austin's voice is powerful, strong, flowing, and overall the best in the whole wide world. "He is showing people if you put hard work and dedication into something you love, you will reach your goal in no time. Never give up on yourself. Ever." Love you, Austin. You're the best in the world. Can't wait for your next song.
Ronan Parke is great, powerful, and lively. I like him so much.
Cody Simpson gained popularity in his early teens by posting covers of popular songs on YouTube. He signed with Atlantic Records in 2010 and released his debut single "iYiYi" featuring Flo Rida the same year. His debut EP "4 U" was released in December 2010, followed by his first studio album "Paradise" in 2012. He's amazing! He's such a good singer, a great dancer, and most importantly, he has his own style. Three words for Cody Simpson: simple, kind, and gentleman. He definitely works hard to do a good job. I wish he was more famous than he is right now. He deserves it! So young and already so talented. Great job, Cody. We, your angels, love you.
I have had the biggest crush on him since I was little. As I have gotten older, I have appreciated so much more about him. He has an amazing voice, and the work he puts into the music he creates is something I am so appreciative of.
He became famous as a teenager after his cover of Paparazzi by Lady Gaga went viral in 2010. Following his viral success, he signed a record deal and released his debut album Hold On 'Til the Night (2011). During his teenage years, he toured internationally and continued to release music. He should be the number one singer of all time. People keep comparing him to Justin Bieber, and that is just crazy. Greyson is 100% better than Justin and actually has talent. Greyson writes songs about taking chances and succeeding in life, not sleeping with girls and getting drunk like Justin does.
Justin has this really annoying high-pitched voice. Greyson actually sounds like a boy and puts soul into his music. This Greyson/Bieber comparison has to stop.
Greyson is the best I've ever heard. I mean, who doesn't love him? His voice just gives me the shivers every time I hear him sing. He is not like most of the singers you hear today, with the rapping and the "Baby, you belong with me."
His songs are very inspirational and make you feel like you belong in this world. I think he is very underrated. More people need to know who Greyson Chance is. More people need to see real talent.
He gained fame as a lead singer of the pop-rock band R5 while also starring in Disney Channel's Austin & Ally. During his teenage years, he released multiple albums with R5, including Louder (2013), which reached the Billboard 200 chart. His music career expanded with solo projects and soundtrack contributions to Disney Channel movies. He is amazing. He is even in a band, R5! They're touring, and they are amazing. Austin & Ally is a terrible show, but just the fact that Ross is on it makes me smile, especially when he sings. It's like ice cream and rowboats on a spring morning with cats.
He is great! He has an amazing voice! Most people know him from Austin and Ally, but not me. I've known him before!
Ross is just awesome. I particularly like his dance moves. Good luck, Ross!
She began acting and singing at a young age, gaining recognition through her role on Disney Channel's Girl Meets World. Her debut EP Can't Blame a Girl for Trying (2014) was released when she was 14, followed by multiple studio albums. As a teenager, she balanced her music career with acting while building a strong fanbase. Sabrina Carpenter deserves to be number one on this list! I mean, come on! How can someone not like her humor and amazing singing voice?
Espresso, Taste, and Please, Please, Please are amazing songs.
Sabrina is an amazing singer! Her songs have a nice beat and tone to them and are the perfect anthem after a long hard day. Only at 16, she has already won two awards and has an excellent album out.
She deserves to be heard. How can you not like this amazing singer and actress?
I LOVE Sabrina Carpenter! She inspired me to sing. I was in All County Chorus because of her. My favorite song that she wrote is Stand Out.
One day, I hope to become a singer like her. People say I have the exact same voice as her.

Laura Marano is a mature artist and an amazing singer and actress!
Laura is amazing and she is just perfect. Vote for her, people!

Personally, I think Becky G and Austin Mahone should get together and be Bustin. Love you so much, Becky. You have inspired me so much to become a singer.
She is very beautiful, and her songs are so amazing, especially her voice. I want to be like her someday.
Connie Talbot rose to fame at age six as the runner-up on the first season of "Britain's Got Talent" in 2007. She released her debut album "Over the Rainbow" later that year, which achieved significant success in the UK and Asia. Throughout her teenage years, she continued to release music and perform internationally. Connie Talbot has the most incredible depth and richness, plus insane control, range, and perfect pitch. My money's on her for the future. If she ever got backed by money versus just recording at home, it might ruin her seemingly joyful nature.
Check YouTube: "Connie Talbot vs. Adele high note." You'll see. She does mainly cover songs, which is probably why she's not so noticed. If you really want to trip, search for her around 5-7 years old singing Adele songs. Jaw-dropping.
I have been fascinated by her voice and beauty for a long time.
She began her career as a child actress before transitioning into music during her teenage years. She released several singles and explored various musical styles, showcasing her versatility as an entertainer. Her involvement in both acting and music has contributed to her multifaceted career in the entertainment industry. Bella is just an amazing singer, actress, and dancer. I can't understand why people haven't heard of her or Zendaya. She deserves much more recognition because her talents are fantastic.
She deserves to be heard so that everyone can see how great this girl actually is. You are amazing, Bella Thorne!
Bella is such an amazing dancer and singer. With Zendaya, she is totally awesome!

She earned a Bachelor's degree in Music, graduating with first-class honors. In 1979, she was introduced to the film industry by composer M.G.

I know for a fact that she has a way better voice than most of the people before her.
She gained recognition as a singer through her Disney Channel roles, including Liv and Maddie, where she performed original songs. Her debut single Count Me In (2014) was released during her teenage years, followed by music contributions to Disney soundtracks. She continued to develop her solo career while balancing acting and music. Dove Cameron is an amazing singer, and I love her voice. I love her show Liv and Maddie. Dove portrays Mal perfectly in Descendants, and I love her song If Only in that movie because it is such a sweet song, and Dove's voice just made it even better.
My absolute favorite song that she has done is her song What A Girl Is, which she performed with Baby Kaely (man, that kid can rap) and Christina Grimmie (Rest In Peace, Christina. You will be missed by us all).
She is an amazing singer! She has an extraordinary voice and can sing high, low, and rap. She has a lovely tone and is an amazing actress, which makes her stand out more.
I love her songs Genie in a Bottle and Count Me In. She is in for an absolute singing and acting career!

Cabello began her solo career in late 2015 with collaborations and released her debut solo single "Crying in the Club" in 2017. Okay, let's just start off with how soothing and amazing of a vocalist she is. The way she sounds incredible singing in English or Spanish. She seems to care so much about her fans, and I love that!
She is good and has a great voice. Her personality is awesome, but my problem is with her curse words in some of her songs. Besides that, she is great.
She is so inspirational, showing just how anyone can sing even if they are different.

By 16, his debut studio album "My World 2.0" (2010) included the chart-topping single "Baby," solidifying his status as a teen pop sensation. Justin Bieber is my favorite singer. He is also the most lovable guy in the world. I think you all hate him because he is every girl's dream and every boy's nightmare. You don't even know how popular and smart he is. I can only say that he is the best, so don't criticize him just because you are jealous of him.
The best singer in the world is here! And he is the stunning and fabulous Justin Bieber. Singing is nothing without him. Love you, Justin Bieber.
Justin Bieber is cool beans. He is the hottest singer of the month, especially with his new album, Purpose! Everyone loves him! Vote, please.
