About this year’s talent:

Debby Ryan is one of the most-watched young stars in the business today. Debby can currently be seen starring on the Disney Channel original series Jessie, as Jessie Prescott, a Texas teenager who moves to New York City and becomes a nanny to four children of a high-profile couple. Jessie premiered on September 30, 2011, and quickly became The Disney Channel’s number one series of all time for its target demographic. Debby also recently starred in the Disney Channel original movie Radio Rebel, which premiered on February 17, 2012, to more than 6 million viewers. In addition to starring in the film, Debby contributed to three tracks on the soundtrack, including “We Got The Beat,” “A Wish Comes True Every Day,” and “We Ended Right.” Aside from Radio Rebel andJessie, Debby is also widely recognized for her role as Bailey Pickett on the Disney Channel series The Suite Life on Deck, a role she held from 2008 to 2011. On the feature-film front, Debby can next be seen in Muppets Most Wanted, for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

The Janoskians specialize in both pop-punk mischief and pandemonium with their own style of “social disturbance.” In February, that pandemonium erupted like never before in Times Square when about 20,000 fans showed up along with Republic Records—who signed the boys in the aftermath. This summer, they cooked up their hit song “Real Girls Eat Cake” and partnered with Lionsgate for a feature-length film that is due out in 2015. In August they will launch a global invasion with the Got Cake Tour, spanning Europe, North America, and beyond. It all started in 2011, when they became one of the most talked-about phenomena on YouTube after uploading a hysterical video entitled “Awkward Train Situations.” After regularly capturing their shenanigans and uploading them to the site, the Australian-born and Los Angeles–based fivesome soon garnered 2 million–plus subscribers and more than 200 million views. They hit the States for 2013’s #NotaBoyBand tour, selling out every date in advance.
