About Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande-Butera was born June 26, 1993, in Boca Raton, Florida, to Joan Grande and Edward Butera, both of Italian-American Brooklyn extraction. She was identified as a theatre kid early — her first professional credit was a Florida-based Kids' Night on Broadway recital at the age of eight — and by thirteen she had been cast in the original Broadway production of Jason Robert Brown's 13 the Musical, moving to New York for the run. Nickelodeon picked her up off the back of the Broadway visibility and cast her as Cat Valentine in Victorious in 2010, with the same character spinning off into Sam & Cat opposite Jennette McCurdy in 2013. The pivot to music came in tandem: Republic Records signed her in 2011, the debut single Put Your Hearts Up and the EP that followed previewed the project, and the proper debut album Yours Truly in September 2013 — The Way with Mac Miller, Baby I, Right There with Big Sean — landed at number one on the Billboard 200 and established the Mariah Carey-aligned whistle-register vocal template that would carry the project forward. My Everything in 2014 produced Problem with Iggy Azalea, Break Free with Zedd, Love Me Harder with the Weeknd, and Bang Bang with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj. Dangerous Woman in 2016 leaned harder into adult R&B-pop. The May 2017 Manchester Arena bombing during the Dangerous Woman Tour killed twenty-two and wounded hundreds; Grande returned to the city within two weeks for the One Love Manchester benefit concert, raised over GBP10 million for the victims, and was made an honorary citizen of Manchester. Sweetener in August 2018 won Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammys; thank u, next in February 2019 — recorded in the wake of Mac Miller's death and the brief engagement to Pete Davidson — produced the title track, 7 rings, and break up with your girlfriend i'm bored, and made her the first artist to occupy the entire Billboard Hot 100 top three since the Beatles in 1964. Positions in 2020 leaned R&B and breathy. eternal sunshine in March 2024 — written through her divorce from Dalton Gomez and her relationship with Ethan Slater — closed her seventh-album cycle and produced We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love) as the album's centrepiece. The Wicked film adaptation, directed by Jon M. Chu, cast her as Galinda/Glinda opposite Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba; the first part released in November 2024, the second in November 2025, and the cycle returned her to film at marquee scale alongside her music career. She remains signed to Republic, was previously based primarily in Los Angeles, and is one of the most-streamed female artists on Spotify globally.
