As a performer, much of my life has been spent in the spotlight. I know how important appearance can be to teens, especially the impact it can have on the way you feel about yourself.

I usually shop at Charlotte Ruth and Bebe.

So that's what's going on right now, and I'm looking to put out an album within the next six months.

You don't need really expensive clothes to look cute.

The cool part about working for Disney is that they've allowed me to be a change agent.

I gotta get working, you know? I've been too busy. I've been trying my hardest, but it's really tough.

I think I'm going to put together a compilation under Disney's name of my songs that I've done for them - because I've done six or seven by now! The latest was for the Princess Diaries 2 soundtrack. So that's the next thing that's coming out.
