You're confusing up-and-coming, meaning "showing promise", with upcoming, meaning "forthcoming".

  Thanks, I'm not a native english speaker so I misunderstood the idiomatic expression's true meaning.

    Your understanding was correct. I think the phrase 'rising' would have been a better choice for what the parent comment meant.
