About Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Isabel Rodrigo was born February 20, 2003, in Temecula, California — the Inland Empire town an hour north of San Diego and an hour south of the Disney machine that would shape the first half of her public-facing career. She is the daughter of a Filipino-American father, who works as a family therapist, and an American mother who taught elementary school, and the family relocated to the Los Angeles area to support the acting career that started when she was six. She booked her first studio work at twelve in the Disney Channel original movie An American Girl: Grace Stirs Up Success, and then landed the recurring role of Paige Olvera on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark, which ran from 2016 to 2019. The next role was the load-bearing one: Nini Salazar-Roberts on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, the Disney+ meta-property that recursively re-staged the original High School Musical with a new ensemble cast performing in-show original songs. Olivia wrote and performed 'All I Want' for the series soundtrack and the song quietly went platinum on the back of streaming — the first signal to anyone watching the publishing splits that the actress in the Disney ensemble was also a working songwriter in her own right. The pivot moment was 'drivers license' in January 2021. Released as the lead single off what would become SOUR, the song spent eight weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, became the fastest non-holiday song ever to cross 100 million Spotify streams, and turned an eighteen-year-old Disney actor into the centre of the global pop conversation overnight. SOUR followed in May 2021 — debut #1 on the Billboard 200, Grammy nominations for Album of the Year and Record of the Year, the wins for Best New Artist and Best Pop Solo Performance, and a Sour Tour through theatres and mid-cap arenas in 2022. GUTS in September 2023 was the sophomore album that closed the door on second-record syndrome: 'vampire' as the lead single, 'bad idea right?' and 'get him back!' as the loud pop-rock anchors, 'ballad of a homeschooled girl' and 'all-american bitch' as the sharpest writing on the record, and another Grammy AOTY nomination. The GUTS World Tour that followed scaled to sold-out arena multi-night runs across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia, with a feature-length concert film for Netflix capturing the Los Angeles run. She is signed to Geffen Records, manages through Bill Silva Management, and writes her own material with Daniel Nigro as the consistent co-writer and producer across both records.
