Making a first public appearance; being introduced for the first time.
Present participle of 'debut,' formed with the '-ing' suffix to describe the ongoing action of making a first appearance.
The phrase 'debuting artist' or 'debuting actor' is interesting because it treats the entire early career as one long debut—you're not 'debuting' after your first album, you're 'established.'
