Who is Tristen Gressett?

17-year-old Tristen Gressett is a senior at Pell City High school. He plays six instruments and loves rock and roll. Tristen Gressett says auditioning has been a dream ever since he watched 'American Idol'. Tristen Gresset says, "I've always wanted to be on, but I never looked at myself as ready, and there was something about this year this past year, and I was like I'm ready to take a leap, take a chance, and I was like here we are." Tristen Gresset is among these young stars who will be seen on the stage of the original singing song. 

In the previous episode Kenedi Anderson, another 17-year-old crooner, showed up at the auditions of ‘American Idol’ Season 20 and quickly managed to floor the judges. Her outstanding performance forced judges to ultimately hand over the newly-introduced platinum ticket to Kenedi, making her only the second one to earn it after HunterGirl. On the other hand, Maddie Glidewell couldn't get any of the tickets despite the brilliant performance. 'American Idol' Season 20 will see Tristen Gressett, RY, Emily Faith, Taniya Boatwright, and many other young contestants on the show.
