An old soul is the last thing you would expect to find inside Jermaine Mitchell. But all it takes is one listen to the 14 year-old soul-singing phenomenon to realize that he is light years ahead of his manufactured pop peers.

I started singing about three years ago, says me who grew up an only child interested in singing in Queens, NY. I'm trying to go for a audition at Apollo Theater . My mom and others said I should work solo but I can't leave my group, so right now I'm on & off. When it comes to music I work hard it take it seriously. I'm trying to live my dreams and die a unforgettable talented man just like "Michael Jackson"

In an effort to share his victory with his loved ones, Jermaine began posting his performance footage online. I put my singing videos from the competition on YouTube so that my friends and family could watch them, he says. But it turned out that other people liked them and they started subscribing to them. I'm waiting for a managerto find me.
