Radio Disney's Next Big Thing Kicks Off Tonight

It’s Friday night, and we can’t think of a better time to kick back and unwind. And tonight, Disney Channel is the place you want to be to get your entertainment fix!

We’re super pumped for the premiere of ‘Girl vs Monster’ with Disney XD star Olivia Holt. And during the premiere, Disney Channel has even more lined up for us. Tonight is the official kick-off for season 5 of Radio Disney’s ‘Next Big Thing.’ During ‘Girl vs Monster,’ you’ll get to go in-depth with each of the artists as they let us know what inspires them and how they got started in music with the Hometown Visits features.

You know that NBT is a big deal when big name stars are dishing out advice to the young hopefuls. So who are they getting wise words from this time around? Oh, only Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift!

Selena told the artists “"You've got to love it. Be passionate about it. Be humble about it. Enjoy it, but also remember where you are. Have fun whether you win or not." While Taylor added "My advice would be to write a letter to whoever you're wanting to say what you feel to. Instead of trying to put all this pressure on yourself to write a song. Just write what you're feeling. If it comes to you in the form of a melody then that's great. If it just comes to you as a diary entry or a poem…whatever you need to do to get out your feelings."

Tonight at 8:00pm ET/PT on Disney Channel is when it all goes down on Radio Disney's 'Next Big Thing.' Let us know if you’ll be tuning in! We’ll be there for sure :)
