Certain musicians believe that a song is better when children sing as part of it. This trope, however, is the concept taken just a little further; the children are the credited performers.
The reasons vary. Perhaps one of the parents is a musician or a producer and is getting the kids involved young. Perhaps a Stage Mom really wants it to happen. Perhaps this is tied into something commercial. Perhaps the kids themselves are Doing It for the Art. Often, because they don't know what they're doing, they will sound bad; but you can find a Child Prodigy here and there.
Child popstar may join a Boy Band as they mature, assuming they can bear to give up the instrument. Indeed, several boy bands initially fit here. Others become Teen Idols. Either way, in adulthood, they may end up becoming a Former Child Star.
Not to be confused with Kids Rock, in which a children's choir sings backing to a performer. Related to Teen Pop.

In THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls, you can recruit a handful of girls aged twelve or younger into 346 Pro. The spinoff THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls U149 exclusively focuses on these girls, making them their own unit and giving them a producer of similar height (but not age).

It is implied that the incomplete ending version of "Dreams Dreams" on NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is sung by either Helen or Will, depending on who you clear the game as. Even before that, Helen herself is revealed to be good at the violin.

In life, Lily Hoshikawa from Zombie Land Saga was a child actor who died young of a heart attack caused by the stress of her job, her strained relationship with her father, and a dysphoric episode caused by her first facial hair coming in. In death, she's the youngest member of Saga prefecture's hottest new idol group, Franchouchou.
