SINGING SONGBIRD While most stars make the natural transition from acting to singing, Bella wanted to wait before she released any music of her own. “I really wanted to work on my voice,” explains Bella. “I’ve never sang before, and I didn’t want to put an album out that I wasn’t proud of. I waited so that I could take a lot of vocal classes, so that I could work on my voice every day.” The hard work paid off because Bella’s debut single, Call It Whatever is a cracker of a track, and it has a super-cute video to boot. “Call It Whatever is my youngest-sounding song,” she says. “It’s for my younger audience, but my album is geared a little bit older.” Multi-Talented Bella Bella has also filmed…

OLIVIA’S FIRST ADULT MOMENT Disney star, Olivia Holt, remembers when her parents gave her a keycard for the first time. “My parents gave me a card so when I went out with my friends to go shopping or to eat, I would have to use the card,” remembers Olivia. “The first time was kind of a scary moment.
