Ariana Grande Wiki, Age, Biography, Height, Boyfriend, Family, Images, And More

An American singer, songwriter, and actress by the name of Ariana Grande-Butera was born on June 26, 1993. She has garnered praise from reviewers and the media for her four-octave vocal range and distinctive use of the whistle register. Her personal life as well as her songs have received a lot of media coverage. Over the course of her career, Grande has won numerous awards, including 30 Guinness World Records, two Grammy Awards, one Brit Award, one Bambi Award, two Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, and nine MTV Video Music Awards.

At the age of 15, Grande made her music debut in the 2008 Broadway production of 13. She became well-known for her role as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon television shows Sam & Cat (2013–2014) and Victorious (2010–2013). In 2011, Grande earned a record deal with Republic Records after the label's executives watched YouTube videos of her singing cover songs. Her debut album, Yours Truly (2013), which features pop and R&B with 1950s doo-wop influences, peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200, while the album's lead single, "The Way," peaked in the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100. On the record, Grande's voice and whistling register immediately brought Mariah Carey to mind.

In her second and third studio albums, My Everything (2014) and Dangerous Woman (2016), she continued to experiment with pop and R&B. The singles "Problem," "Break Free," and "Bang Bang" from My Everything's EDM experimentation saw widespread popularity while Dangerous Woman became her first of four straight number-one albums in the UK. Her trap-infused fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019), which were both critically acclaimed and financially successful, were driven by personal challenges. Thank U, Next shattered the record for the biggest pop album streaming week and was nominated for Album of the Year, while Sweetener took up the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album. Grande became the first solo artist to occupy the top three positions on the Hot 100 at once, as well as the first woman to succeed herself at the top of the UK Singles Chart, thanks to the singles "Thank U, Next," "7 Rings," and "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored." Her 2020 duets "Stuck with U" with Justin Bieber and "Rain on Me" with Lady Gaga, the latter of which won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, assisted her in breaking the record for the most number-one debuts on the Hot 100. With her sixth studio album, Positions (2020), which both the album and its title track debuted at number one in the UK and the US, Grande expanded the trap genre. Her sixth and seventh US number-one songs came from her work with The Weeknd on the remixes of "Save Your Tears" and "Die For You."

Grande, who is frequently referred to as a triple threat performer and pop icon, is one of the best-selling musicians in the world. Her studio albums have all received platinum or higher certification, and she has sold over 90 million records worldwide. She holds several records on the Billboard chart, including being the first artist to debut five singles at number one, the first and only solo artist to chart three singles at number one in a single year, the only artist to debut the lead single from each of her studio albums in the top ten, and the only artist to debut their first five number one singles at the top spot.

Early Years

In Boca Raton, Florida, on June 26, 1993, Ariana Grande-Butera was conceived. She is the daughter of Boca Raton-based graphic designer Edward Butera and Joan Grande, the Brooklyn-born CEO of Hose-McCann Communications, a manufacturer of communications and safety equipment held by the Grande family since 1964. Grande, who is of Italian ancestry, has Sicilian and Abruzzese roots and identifies as an Italian American. Her family moved from New York to Florida before she was born, and her parents split up when she was eight or nine years old. She has an older half-brother named Frankie Grande who works as an entertainer and producer. Ariana and Marjorie Grande, her maternal grandma, get along well.

She was inadvertently struck by wayward hockey pucks on both wrists twice in 1998 while her parents were season ticket holders for the Florida Panthers, both times resulting in minor bruises. She also became the first child to ever ride a Zamboni in the brand-new arena during the first intermission of the Panthers' first regular-season game at National Car Rental Center on October 9, 1998. This second occurrence was made possible by her parents' $200 winning bid at an auction. It took place during the first half of the game. The South Florida SunSentinel ran a picture of her on the Zamboni the following day. On January 16, 2002, during the Panthers' home game against the Chicago Blackhawks, she performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the age of eight.

With the Fort Lauderdale Children's Theater, Grande made her stage debut as the lead in the musical Annie when she was a young child. She also participated in their productions of Beauty and the Beast and The Wizard of Oz. She had her stage debut at the age of eight and has since performed with the South Florida Philharmonic, Florida Sunshine Pops, and Symphonic Orchestras, among other orchestras. She was enrolled at Pine Crest School at the time, and then transferred to North Broward Preparatory.

Career

2008–2012: Starting a career and Nickelodeon

Despite still focusing on theater, Grande took her desire to pursue a music career seriously by the age of 13. "I was like, 'I want to make an R&B album,' They were like, 'Um, that's a helluva goal! Who is going to buy a 14-year-old's R&B album?!'" Grande recalled when she first arrived in Los Angeles, California to meet with her managers. Grande left North Broward Preparatory School when she joined the musical, but she remained enrolled; the school provided her materials to study with tutors. She also performed several times at the jazz club Birdland in New York City.

Together with her 13 co-star Elizabeth Gillies, Grande was chosen for the Nickelodeon television series Victorious in 2009. She portrayed the "adorably dimwitted" Cat Valentine in the sitcom, which was based at a performing arts high school. For the part, she had to colour her hair red every other week, which severely damaged it. With 5.7 million viewers during the premiere in March 2010, the show had Nickelodeon's second-largest live-action series audience. Her character was compared to "Brittany Murphy's performance as the hapless Tai in Clueless" and described as being "very impressionable and easily swayed" but "generally sweet"; however, Grande was more interested in a music career, saying that acting is "fun, but music has always been first and foremost with me."

Grande decided to concentrate on her music career once the first season of Victorious ended, so in August 2010 she started writing the songs for her debut album. She started training with voice trainer Eric Vetro to expand her vocal range. The highest-rated episode of the second season debuted in April 2011 to 6.2 million viewers. In May 2011, Grande played Greyson Chance's ex-girlfriend in the music video for the song "Unfriend You" from his album Hold On 'til the Night (2011). In August 2011, she debuted as a musician on the Victorious soundtrack's "Give It Up" tune. Grande recorded herself performing renditions of songs by Adele, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey when she was filming Victorious and posted the audio to YouTube. One of the movies was discovered by a close friend of Republic Records CEO Monte Lipman. He emailed the links to Lipman after being moved by her singing, who offered her a recording contract. In November 2011, Grande provided the voice for Snowflake, the White Gorilla, an animated film in Spanish. She provided the fairy Princess Diaspro's voice in the Nickelodeon relaunch of Winx Club from 2011 to 2013.

"Put Your Hearts Up," Grande's debut single, was recorded for a prospective teen-oriented pop album but was never released. It was released in December 2011. She later rejected the song for having a bubblegum pop vibe, claiming that she had no desire to create that kind of music. Later, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awarded the song a Gold certification. She contributed vocals for the song "5 Fingaz to the Face" as a member of the show's cast on a second soundtrack, Victorious 2.0, which was released on June 5, 2012, as an extended play. The duet "L.A. Boyz" by Grande and Victoria Justice was included on the third and final album, Victorious 3.0, which was published on November 6, 2012. Shortly after, a music video for the song was also made available. Together with British singer-songwriter Mika, Grande worked on the single version of "Popular Song" in December 2012.

Victorious ran for four seasons before being canceled. The season finale aired in February 2013.

Sam & Cat, an iCarly and Victorious spin-off starring Jennette McCurdy and Grande, was developed by Nickelodeon in the meanwhile. On the buddy sitcom, which paired the characters as roommates who start an after-school babysitting business, Grande and McCurdy reprised their roles as Cat Valentine and Sam Puckett, respectively. On June 8, 2013, the network broadcast the pilot, and the show was quickly picked up. The following month, Nickelodeon doubled their initial 20-episode order for Sam & Cat's first season to 40 episodes. Even though the series performed well in the ratings, it was cancelled after 35 episodes. On July 17, 2014, the final episode aired.

Artistry

Styles and Genres of Music

The majority of Ariana Grande's songs are pop and R&B with hints of trap, EDM, hip hop, and other genres. The latter genre initially stood out on her Christmas & Chill extended play. She has always maintained pop-R&B tones, but as her career has developed, she has added more trap elements to her music thanks to her collaboration with record producer Tommy Brown. Grande revealed that Mac Miller taught her how to use the digital audio workstation Pro Tools, adding that she has worked with Brown on every album to date and that "one of the things I love most about working with Tommy is that none of the beats he plays me ever sound the same." Grande learned how to sound engineer and produce her own vocals because she "loves being hands on" with every project. She has co-written songs addressing a wide range of themes, including love, sex, wealth, breakups, independence, empowerment, self-love, and moving on from the past. Collaborator Justin Tranter said he felt inspired seeing how involved Grande is in creating her music "from the writing to the vision to the storytelling and to even engineering and comping her own vocals."

The R&B "vibe and feel of the 90s" were re-created on Grande's debut album Yours Truly with the assistance of songwriter and producer Babyface, earning it praise. My Everything, her follow-up album, was hailed as an evolution to a new style that explored the electropop and EDM genres. The Los Angeles Times lauded Grande's third album, Dangerous Woman, for incorporating aspects of several genres, such as reggae-pop ("Side to Side"), dance-pop ("Be Alright"), and guitar-trap fusion ("Sometimes"), into the pop and R&B sound. On her fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener and Thank U, Next, trap-pop is more prominently featured. Elias Leight of Rolling Stone believes that with Sweetener, Grande "set her sights on conquering trap, savage basslines and jittery swarms of drum programming" and "embraces the sound of hard-bitten Southern hip-hop", exploring funk music with themes of love and prosperity. According to Craig Jenkins of Vulture, Grande shifted her musical idiom on Thank U, Next to trap and hip-hop with hints of R&B and lyrics about breakups, empowerment, and self-love. With lyrics about sex and passion, her sixth album, Positions, continues to explore the R&B and trap-pop style of Sweetener and Thank U, Next.

Influences

Urban pop and 1990s music was primarily what Grande listened to growing up. When Gloria Estefan saw and praised Grande's performance on a cruise ship when she was eight years old, Grande credited Estefan with motivating her to pursue a music career. Her biggest vocal influences are Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston: "I love Mariah Carey. She is literally my favorite human being on the planet. And of course Whitney as well. As far as vocal influences go, Whitney and Mariah pretty much cover it." In addition to Carey and Houston, Destiny's Child, Beyoncé, Celine Dion, and Madonna are some of Grande's other major influences. She uses her social media to reflect on her upbringing by posting videos of herself performing songs from Dion's 1997 album Let's Talk About Love. Grande acknowledged being "obsessed with [Madonna's] entire discography" and credited the singer with "paving the way for me and also every other female artist."

Grande commended the "intricate" songwriting of Imogen Heap. With "Over the Rainbow" being one of the first songs she remembers singing because "Wizard Of Oz was always my favorite movie when I was younger," Grande has cited Judy Garland as a formative influence. Music producer and collaborator Savan Kotecha has stated in multiple interviews that he and Grande were influenced by Lauryn Hill, when creating her fourth album Sweetener, as well as the song "No Tears Letting Me Down." Kotecha stated to Variety that "we were listening to Lauryn Hill about chord changes and why we stick to four chords all the time".

In terms of music, Grande enjoys Brandy's songs because "her riffs are incredibly on point" and India.Arie because "music makes me feel like everything is going to be okay" She has also praised rappers who influence the music industry without a planned release date, telling Billboard, "My dream has always been to be—obviously not a rapper, but, like, to put out music in the way that a rapper does.

Voice

Grande has a four-octave vocal range, a whistle register, and is a light lyric soprano. Because of Grande's broad vocal range, tone, and musical repertoire following the release of Yours Truly, some commentators compared her to Mariah Carey. Both Carey and Grande have "the talent to let their vocals do the talking," according to Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of Billboard, "but that's not where the similarities end.... Grande is subverting it with cute, comfortable, and on-trend dresses with a feminine slant." Grande responded to the comparisons, saying, "t's a huge compliment, but when you hear my entire album, you'll see that Mariah's sound is much different than mine."

According to Mark Savage of BBC News, Grande is "a magnetic performer with unmatched vocal control" and "one of pop's most intriguing and gifted singers." According to Jon Pareles in The New York Times, Ariana Grande's voice "can be silky, breathy or cutting, swooping through long melismas or jabbing out short R&B phrases; it's always supple and airborne, never forced." Composer and playwright Jason Robert Brown said of Grande in a 2016 Time magazine article: "o matter how much you are underestimated... you are going to open your mouth and that unbelievable sound is going to come out. That

Public Perception

In her early years of success, Grande frequently claimed Audrey Hepburn as a key fashion influence, but as her career advanced, she grew to find Hepburn's look "a little boring." She was also influenced by 1950s and 1960s actresses like Ann-Margret, Nancy Sinatra, and Marilyn Monroe. In contrast to contemporary artists who grew up in the spotlight, Grande was praised for having a "age appropriate" humble appearance early in her career. When Grande changed her look to short skirts and crop tops with knee-high boots for live performances and red carpet appearances in 2014, Jim Farber of the New York Daily News noted that she garnered less attention "for how little she wears or how graphically she moves than for how she sings." She also started donning cat and bunny ears on a daily basis. She started donning hoodies and large jackets in recent years. Celebrities and social media influencers frequently copy Grande's fashion sense. Grande wore extensions as her hair repaired after being dyed red for the part of Cat Valentine for years. The "iconic" high ponytail she sports has drawn more attention than her outfit selections, according to Anne T. Donahue of MTV News.

Despite criticism in 2014 for allegedly rude interactions with media and fans, Grande brushed off the claims as "weird, inaccurate depictions". It's also Grande just taking a stand to not let others control her image, according to Rolling Stone. In July 2015, Grande sparked controversy after being caught on camera in a doughnut shop licking doughnuts that were on display and uttering the words "I hate Americans. I hate America. This is disgusting." in reference to a tray of doughnuts. She later expressed regret, stating that she is "EXTREMELY proud to be an American" and that her remarks were more about obesity in the country. Later, she apologized in a video for "behaving poorly." The Muppets made fun of the incident, and Miley Cyrus included it in her rendition of "My Way" on Saturday Night Live, which was about regrets from the summer of 2015. While hosting Saturday Night Live in 2016, Grande made fun of the incident, joking that "A lot of kid stars end up doing drugs, or in jail, or pregnant, or get caught licking a doughnut they didn't pay for." In 2020, Grande claimed that she avoided interviews for a while out of concern that her words would be misinterpreted and she would be called a "diva."

One of the most well-liked celebrities on social media, Grande enjoys a sizable fan base. She is among the most subscribed solo female artists on YouTube with over 50 million subscribers as of January 2023. Her music videos have received over 23 billion views, with seven of them reaching 1 billion views. She is the second most followed artist and female on Spotify with over 85 million followers. She is in the top five most followed individuals on Instagram with over 350 million followers. In 2019, Grande rose to the position of Instagram's most followed female. Grande was named the #1 female social media influencer in the world by Visual Capitalist in May 2021.

In addition, Grande was recognized as one of "The 200 Most Important Artists of Pitchfork's First 25 Years" for "emerging with music that pushed her artistry further as it asserted a magical trifecta of hope, joy, and a powerhouse voice" In Rolling Stone's updated list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time published in 2021, her song "Thank U, Next" was included.  The publication listed Grande among the 200 greatest singers of all time in 2023.
