Recently, at the 2nd annual Children's & Family Emmy Awards, the song "Finally Free" picked up an award for the hit Disney+ Original series, "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series". The song is performed by Joshua Bassett and written by the songwriting duo, Doug Rockwell and Tova Litvin, who have also worked on many other Disney projects, including "Sneakerella" and the upcoming "Zombies: Reanimated" series.

The duo also wrote and produced music for the musical-comedy-series "Julie and the Phantoms", a Netflix Top 10 show in 2020 whose songs hit #4 on the Billboard charts, as well as the #1 spot on the iTunes main/soundtrack charts in the USA. Their song, “The Other Side of Hollywood,'' was nominated for Outstanding Original Song at the 48th Daytime Emmy Awards.

This past week, I got to speak with Doug Rockwell and Tova Litvin, where I asked them about how it felt to win an Emmy, what it was like working on "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series", plus about any future projects they are working on with Disney.
