Malachi Barton Lights Up the Screen in Disney's 'Camp Rock 3'

Malachi Barton, 19, is a Disney Channel star who has already made a name for himself in the entertainment industry. He's been working almost constantly since his on-screen debut at just six years old and has become modern Disney royalty.

Barton stars as the male lead in the upcoming film 'Camp Rock 3,' which debuts August 13th and marks the relaunch of the iconic Disney Channel franchise that sent Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers' careers soaring nearly two decades ago. The child of a singer-songwriter and tour manager, Barton has been surrounded by music and entertainment since birth.

But with fame comes pressure to maintain a strong online presence. Barton has over 7 million followers on TikTok and 3 million on Instagram, where he promotes partnerships with brands like CeraVe and Hollister. However, he's aware of the pitfalls of social media and has learned to navigate its ups and downs.

When asked about his fame, Barton quipped that his vocabulary was 'on fire.' But despite the pressure to constantly produce content, Barton remains grounded in his faith and uses it as a filter for his work. He's set to reprise his role in 2027's 'Zombies 5: Secrets of the Sea' and will join other talent from 'Camp Rock 3' on tour later this year.
