Celebration of Music - Talent Search

Preston C. Howell is a 13 year old singer, actor, and dancer that can be found spending his extra time performing for local theater, making music video covers for fans, and playing with his local church youth band. He is an Aventura Young Star, WSVN's Kid Idol Finalist & 2017 S. Florida Kids Got Talent Finalist. Preston performs live throughout South Florida entertaining audiences with his music. He and his "Dream Dancers" regularly stop crowds with their fun upbeat numbers.

Preston credits his training to his great teachers throughout South Florida. He is very involved in choir and thespian programs at Florida Christian School and participates at both the regional and state levels. Broadway Kids Studios in Davie nurtured Preston's early years and he now attends the Area Stage Company Conservatory in Coral Gables under the guidance of John Rodaz. Dance training is augmented at Dancers' Gallery in Cooper City. His personal coach and mentor Ben Bagby has made a tremendous impact on his growth as an artist and he looks forward to one day reaching the whole world with his music. Preston also has the privilege to train with Diana Heller in classical piano.

It is Preston's hope that his music will provide a new means for him to give back to his community. "I would like to give back to my schools for teaching me all that I know" he says. He also wants to give back to other charitable organizations close to his heart such as the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital Foundation. Preston can be found supporting various foundation events for Multiple Sclerosis, Juvenile Diabetes, and Autism for Music.

Preston's career started at just 4 years old, with a few Frank Sinatra songs that he learned with his dad and his mom could not believe the voice that came out of him, "I knew that pitch and tone was unique, his sweet voice was one of gift." In addition to his parents, his brother supports him to the fullest, “He will be my manager one day" says Preston.
