The third season of Radio Disney’s “N.B.T.” (Next Big Thing) will begin on Wednesday, September 15th. The series introduces a number of young recording artists and offers them national broadcast and online exposure to Radio Disney and Disney Channel fans who will then vote for their favorite artist. The artist with the most votes will have the opportunity to have their single released by Disney Music Group and to open for Allstar Weekend at a special holiday performance.
Michael Riley, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Radio Disney, had this to say about “N.B.T.”
