Demi Lovato jumped into her singing and acting career as the star of the Disney Channel's TV movie Camp Rock alongside Nick Jonas and the rest of the Jonas Brothers in 2007. The 23-year-old, hailing from New Mexico, released her debut album, Don't Forget, in 2008, and it debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. In 2009, Demi signed on to star in Disney's television show Sonny with a Chance and released her second album Here We Go Again. After a stint on the FOX musical series Glee, two more albums and hit songs "Give Your Heart a Break," "Skyscraper" and "Heart Attack," the pop singer released her single "Cool for the Summer" and latest album Confident.

After garnering widespread fame as one third of the Jonas Brothers beginning in 2007, Nick Jonas now performs as a solo pop artist. The 23-year-old, born in Dallas, Texas, began his singing career on Broadway, appearing as Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol. Other early Broadway credits include Les Misérables and Beauty and the Beast. In 2007, Disney's Hollywood Records signed Nick and his brothers Kevin and Joe to a record deal, and they released their self-titled album shortly after. Since that release, Nick toured and released music with his brothers, returned to Broadway, and starred in Disney Channel's TV movies Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2 alongside Demi Lovato. In 2014, Nick Jonas released a self-titled solo album, which featured the hits "Chains" and "Jealous." His latest single "Levels" is quickly climbing to the top of the charts.
