Actress, singer, songwriter, Hollywood Records and Republic Records recording artist Sofia Carson (Disney Channel's "Descendants," Freeform's "Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists") is set to host the exciting music and star-filled event.

The ARDYs will celebrate the biggest and rising stars in music, television and movies and create an event designed to inspire and entertain today's families.
