NANAIMO — A Nanaimo-born teenage singing sensation has taken the next step toward his American Idol dream.
Cameron Whitcomb survived Hollywood Week Sunday, April 3 on the ABC singing competition to move into the show’s next stage.
Paired with fellow teenage contestant Tristen Gressett, Whitcomb performed the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic, “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?”
The performance drew an enthusiastic reaction from the judges and audience, and Whitcomb punctuated the performance with one of his signature backflips.
Whitcomb grew up in Nanaimo before moving to the Kamloops area.
He follows in the footsteps of Lauren Spencer-Smith who made the Top 20 of the COVID-affected 2020 season of the show.
