Biography

With her four-octave vocal range and distinctive image, Ariana Grande has emerged as a quintessential pop star of her generation, achieving remarkable success in the realms of singing, songwriting, and acting. Born on June 26, 1993, in Boca Raton, Florida, to graphic designer Edward Butera and Joan Grande, the CEO of Hose-McCann Communications, Ariana’s artistic journey began at an early age.

Her early exposure to local theater productions ignited her passion for singing and acting. At the age of 15, Ariana landed the role of Charlotte in the Broadway production of “13,” earning her a National Youth Theatre Association Award. Her talents caught the eye of the entertainment world, leading to her role as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon series “Victorious,” later spun off into “Sam & Cat.”

Simultaneously, Ariana delved into the music scene, making her first appearances on the soundtrack of “Victorious.” In 2011, she released the single “Put Your Hearts Up,” but it was the 2013 hit “The Way,” featuring Mac Miller, that marked a mature direction in her music, reaching the Top Ten in the U.S. and certifying triple platinum.

Her debut album, "Yours Truly" (2013), with its Babyface production, paid homage to '90s R&B, showcasing Grande's powerhouse vocals. The subsequent years saw her evolution, incorporating hip-hop and EDM elements into her sound. The 2014 smash "Problem" with Iggy Azalea, "Bang Bang," and "Love Me Harder" solidified her growth as an artist.

Ariana continued her ascent with albums like “Dangerous Woman” (2016) and reached new heights with the critically acclaimed “Sweetener” (2018) and its swift sequel “Thank U, Next.” The title track from the latter dominated the U.S. singles chart for seven weeks, a feat repeated by the glitzy singles “7 Rings” and “Positions.”

Beyond her musical achievements, Ariana Grande has faced personal and professional challenges with resilience. The tragic Manchester Arena bombing in 2017 during her concert prompted her to host the One Love Manchester charity concert, showcasing her commitment to supporting victims and resilience in the face of adversity.

Ariana’s discography continued to flourish with “Sweetener” and “Thank U, Next,” followed by non-LP hits like “Monopoly” and “Boyfriend.” Her 2019 live album, “k bye for now,” documented her successful Sweetener World Tour.

In 2020, Ariana collaborated with Justin Bieber on “Stuck with U” and Lady Gaga on “Rain on Me,” both reaching the top of the Billboard charts. Her album “Positions” (2020) marked her fifth Billboard 200 chart-topper, with singles like “34+35” and the remix of “Save Your Tears” with the Weeknd.

Ariana Grande’s multifaceted career extends to acting, with notable roles in “Scream Queens” and the 2021 film “Don’t Look Up.” Her participation in the film adaptation of “Wicked” and the release of the “Yours Truly (Tenth Anniversary Edition)” in 2023 underscore her enduring influence.

As she kicks off her next album cycle with the ’90s club-inspired “yes, and?” in 2024, Ariana Grande continues to captivate audiences with her unparalleled talent and unwavering dedication to her craft. Her journey from local theater productions to global stardom exemplifies not only her musical prowess but also her resilience and versatility as an artist.
