The Salvation Army's sixth annual Rock the Red Kettle concert will be headlined Becky G, with additional performances from rising singer songwriter Jacob Whitesides and rising young pop artist Jake Miller.

"I am excited to be involved with Rock the Red Kettle for the second year. One of my favorite things last year was seeing all of the amazing #RedKettleReason posts my fans shared," said Becky G.

"I support The Salvation Army because I know firsthand that the money they raise goes toward ensuring families will have a roof over their heads and kids will not go to bed hungry.

My family struggled when I was younger, and we were lucky to have organizations like The Salvation Army help us get through tough times."

What's your biggest fear? That is a question that has surfaced so much this year. The more I thought about it the more I realized how passionate I am about what I do. I couldn't respond to the question with "I'm scared of the dark" or "I'm afraid of heights". My answer to that question is letting people down. Letting my fans down. Letting My family down. Even letting myself down. So much time invested. So many sacrifices made for me to get to this point. The thought of knowing it can all be taken away is the scariest feeling. Every morning I wake up thanking God that he gave me the chance time after time to do what I love most. I am thankful for every person that has supported me along the way. Thank you to my family and my amazing fans. I couldn't do it without you all. I've been so inspired by what I've been feeling and going through these last few months and I can't wait to get in the studio these next few weeks and write about it all. You know I always keep it with y'all. So Thanks for your patience and love. ?

In addition to Becky G, Jacob Whitesides and Jake Miller, this year's concert will feature other up-and-coming artists including Quinn Martin, Alec Bailey and Tahj Mowry.

"The Salvation Army is one of those organizations that people know about - but may not realize all of the awesome things they do," said Jacob Whitesides.

"I want my fans to know that they can help make a difference in someone's life by doing something as simple as dropping the change from their pocket into a Red Kettle at the mall or just going online to share their #RedKettleReason.

I grew up watching my mom work multiple jobs to support my sister and me and I feel lucky to be in a position to give and ask the fans in my life to give back too."
