American Christian 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, as the music video will also be made available exclusively on the Radio Disney website for a limited time.

Launched in early 2005, Radio Disney Incubator features musical acts under the age of 21 through exclusive audio features on the Radio Disney network and exclusive content on Radio Disney's website.

The online features allow fans to listen to music, view photos and read more about these up and coming artists. Radio Disney can be heard in 97 per cent of the United States on over 50 radio stations, XM and Sirius satellite radio and digital cable & satellite TV music provider, MUSIC CHOICE.

CALI's high-energy pop/r&b blend and energetic live shows have attracted a lot of attention these past several months. CALI co-headlined the 2006 Camplified Tour with fellow teen act Kristy Frank (Universal/Ruffnation). Sponsored by Fender, Sonic Bids and PopStar! Magazine, the summer tour has previously hosted such up and coming acts as Fefe Dobson (Island Records), Skye Sweetnam (Capitol Records), Nikki Flores (Epic Records), Katelyn Tarver (American Idol Juniors) and Rose Falcon (Columbia Records).

CALI followed her first major tour with appearances at select dates of the 2006 Shoutfest Tour, sharing the stage with Christian artists such as Jump5, Krystal Meyers, Jars of Clay, Skillet and more. Her live show includes a DJ, dancers and complex choreography, as well as pre-show "dance clinics" before many live events.

CALI has signed with Nashville-based 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 labelled 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."
