Mitchel Musso is the debut album by Mitchel Musso. The album was released under Walt Disney Records on June 2, 2009.[1]

Background

Musso worked with Sam Hollander, Dave Katz, Bryan Todd, Justin Gray, Curt Schneider, Matthew Wilder, and other producers and songwriters to produce the album in Los Angeles and New York. Musso also contributed to co-writing two songs from the album's thirteen tracks. Mitchel sings solo on all of the tracks except two titled "Us Against the World" and "Shout It". The two are a duet featuring singer Katelyn Tarver and Musso's brother Mason Musso respectively. Musso stated: "But actually my favorite song off my album is a duet, "Us Against the World" and it's my favorite song. I feel like it's got the most uh, it's kind of a dark vibe but at the same time it's a really upbeat like uh, I would say a happy song. And I think the girl's voice, is Katelyn Tarver, so it was awesome getting her on the track."[2] "Let's Make This Last 4Ever" was featured on an episode of Hannah Montana and a track on the Hannah Montana 3 soundtrack. "Hey" was used as the theme song to Unhitched.
