Demetria Devonne "Demi" Lovato (born August 20, 1992) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, actress, and anti-bullying spokesperson who rose to international stardom following her starring role in the 2008 Disney Channel Original Movie, Camp Rock. Prior to her major breakthrough, Lovato had a recurring role as Angela in the children's television program, Barney and Friends. She made her debut on the Disney Channel short series As the Bell Rings in 2007.
She is good friends with the Jonas Brothers (who also started in Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2), and dated Joe Jonas for a time in 2010. She toured with them in 2008 and 2010 and appeared in their concert movie Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.
