Meet the new stars of Radio Disney's Next Big Thing


What do Coco Jones, Kicking Daisies, Shealeigh and Allstar Weekend all have in common? They all got their start on Radio Disney’s N.B.T. (Next BIG Thing).

And after holding auditions in several different cities, the five new acts competing in the super popular competition this fall have finally been revealed!

 

For those of you not familiar with N.B.T., over the course of 10 weeks this fall, every new artist will get the chance for their individual talent to be showcased, and Radio Disney and Disney Channel audiences can vote for their faves by logging on to RadioDisney.com or texting “NBT” to DISNEY.

 

This season, the winner of the entire competition will have a single released by Disney Music Group, be the opening act at the finale concert, and perform on Disney Channel’s hit series Austin & Ally!

 

Radio Disney introduced the fresh crop of season 5 talent last weekend during a three-night showcase at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort, where each took to the stage showcasing their very different musical styles. And before these talented teens go head-to-head in the N.B.T. competition, they’ll be joining N.B.T. alums and popular Radio Disney artists on a 15+ city trek across the US in the “N.B.T. On Tour," kicking off in Chicago this Sunday, July 1.
