In an article from Variety, they are calling Sonny with a Chance star Demi Lovato Disney’s latest success story. The article talks about how she got an early start in the entertainment business and how fame was not handed to her, she worked for it.
Here’s an excerpt from the article:
Singing since age 5, Lovato and her sisters needed a skill for the talent portion of the pageants in which they competed at a young age. "I loved to sing, so that’s when I started taking lessons and really practicing," Lovato explains.
Studying under vocal coach Linda Septien in Dallas, Lovato learned how to write songs and play instruments, but she also used the opportunity to soak up advice on "making it in the music business," she says.
As most of you probably know, Demi was discovered by Disney at a Disney Channel casting call in Texas. She caught the attention of their music department and the rest is history!
Steven Vincent, VP of music and soundtracks, had this to say about Demi: "She’s got unlimited potential. She can sing and she’s funny — it’s rare to find that kind of combination. I think she will become a major artist like Pink or Alanis Morissette."
What a compliment!
What’s up next for Demi Lovato? She just finished filming the Disney Channel Original Movie “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” and is currently working on another album.
