FEATURED PERFOMERS

EMILY OSMENT
Best-known for playing Lilly Truscott on Disney Channel's Emmy-nominated "Hannah Montana," 18 year old Emily Osment has always had a passion for music. An accomplished musician, whose mom taught her to play guitar, Emily has actually been making music for as long as she's been acting.

Her debut album's title, "Fight or Flight," reflects Emily's ambitions to fight through personal
anxieties and achieve success in two very competitive fields. "I don't want to write songs that are just surface-deep," explains Emily, whose own favorites growing up included Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, the Monkees, the Doors and Herman's Hermits, as well as modern groups like The Pixies and Massive Attack. "I want songs that, the more you listen, the more you figure out what I'm talking about. I love putting secrets like that on the record."

As for Osment herself, she is confident she can artfully balance -- and maintain -- her growing careers in acting and music without sacrificing quality in either, something she learned only too well from by observing her good friend and colleague Miley Cyrus and her brother, actor Haley Joel Osment. "Whether it's going to school and taking on film roles or doing music and acting, I'm lucky to be pursuing both of my passions."
