Hannah Montana? It's Sonya Isaacs!

Last summer I was invited to be a backup singer in the new Hannah Montana movie that just came out! My friend Lisa (she's on my right in the scene) was my publisher at Disney Music Publishing, and she asked Jessi (another Disney writer) and me to join her as backup singers for Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus on 2 songs during the movie. We couldnt believe it! Actresses!! lol... We were given the opportunity to write songs as well, but I didnt have any luck with it... Jessi, on the otherhand,(btw: she's the girl to my left in the scene) had some amazing luck.... She and our friend Jon Mabe cowrote the smash hit "The Climb" which is now a HUGE song for Miley! What a great song.. and a great performance by Ms. Cyrus!!

We filmed for 3 days in Smiley Hollow Campground, located in Goodlettsville, TN, in the dead heat of the summer last June (08)... In spite of the 95 degree days with no a/c on set, we had an amazing time and got to hang out with the wonderful cast of Hannah Montana. Miley is very sweet, and is such a great actress... and all the other cast members were so down to earth and friendly too. It was an unforgettable experience and I feel blessed for the opportunity to be in it. I believe good clean entertainment is important these days. Kids need to be presented movies like this one that teach you to keep dreaming, but keep your feet on the ground! Hope you enjoy the movie!!

Isaacs update

Many of you have written recently inquiring about the A capella album that the Isaacs have been working on. I wanted to update you on that process. Lily says they have almost completed the album, just a little more to do. They don't have a definite release date yet, but we will be sure to post that here as soon as we know something for sure. They also have not definitely decided on a title for the project. There were so many great ideas sent in here on the blog and they also have a few great ones they came up with. Stay tuned here for more info. as it becomes available.

If you haven't heard yet, our very own Sonya Isaacs is in the brand new, just released Hannah Montana movie. Keep a close eye on the blog as we will have some news for you about that in the next few days.

The Isaacs hit the road again last night after having a few days off for Spring Break. Catch them in concert if you can!! View the tour schedule HERE.

Blessings,
Lisa
