Christian teen pop artist CALI has been selected by Radio Disney as its featured Incubator artist for December. As part of the campaign, the twenty-year-old’s debut single “Get Up” will be world-premiered, and the music video will also be made available exclusively on the Radio Disney website for a limited time.

CALI has signed with the management company Waypoint Entertainment, and together they have crafted her upcoming self-titled CD, produced by Darrell Vanzant, Ric Robbins and Sam Mizell, with help from mixing engineer Steve Hodge — whose credits include Janet Jackson. Insisting on not being labeled as another pre-fabricated, manufactured pop artist, CALI made songwriting with substance a priority.

“I have a strong desire to reach tweens, teens and beyond with a wholesome message,” says CALI. “I wanted to get a really fun feel, but I also wanted to put a message behind it and that’s where my faith comes in. This is who I am, so I don’t feel like I should do it any other way.”

CALI’s self-titled debut will be released to retail stores nationwide this spring.
