Sure, American Idol won’t be back until January, but there’s another hot talent search you can follow along with NOW.

Radio Disney’s Next Big Thing (N.B.T) is a 10-week showcase that puts the spotlight on five young unsigned recording artists and provides them with the national broadcast and online exposure they need to jumpstart their budding career.

Each of the five talented teens—and tweens—will shine in the spotlight for two weeks at a time, where they’ll have a single featured on the Radio Disney playlist, a profile segment on Disney Channel (hosted by Sonny With a Chance’s Tiffany Thornton), plus exclusive videos and photos featured on RadioDisney.com among other neat stuff.

Listeners are invited to vote for the artist during his or her two-week showcase, either at RadioDisney.com or by texting “NBT” to DISNEY (347639) (note message & data rates may apply so get your parent's permission first). After all have been featured, there’s one open week of voting from December 2-9 for all musicians. And the stakes are high as the contestant with the most votes at the end scores the opportunity to have their single featured on the upcoming Walt Disney Records' Radio Disney Jams 12 CD. Cool, right?

While the program is already on its third artist, we’re giving you the scoop so you can hop in and follow along. To listen, look and vote for your favorite star CLICK HERE!

This Tennessee native is a Pop/R&B artist who recently performed on the iShine tour. Performing since the age of four, Jasmine put together her first album entitled The Next Me with help from her dad—an album which promotes being a leader, not a follower.


This multi-talented teen from Missouri writes all of his own music, has played the guitar since he was 10 and is currently learning to play the drums. His musical style ranges from Pop and Rock to Acoustic and takes inspiration from girls he has had crushes on.

Hailing from California, Gabi plays four instruments and has even published a book of poetry: "Anything on Earth Poems." She was even invited to perform two songs by her idol, Alicia Keys, at this year’s ASCAP awards, which left Alicia impressed.
