By age 13, she became serious about pursuing a music career, though she still concentrated on theater. When she first arrived in Los Angeles to meet with her managers, she expressed a desire to record an R&B album when she was 14: "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?!'" In 2008, Grande was cast in the supporting role of cheerleader Charlotte in the musical 13 on Broadway, for which she won a National Youth Theatre Association Award. When she joined the musical, Grande left her high school, North Broward Preparatory School, but continued to be enrolled. The school sent materials to her so she could study with tutors. She also sang various times at the New York City Jazz club Birdland.
2009–12: Breakthrough with Nickelodeon
Grande auditioned for the Nickelodeon television show Victorious in New York along with 13 co-star Elizabeth Gillies in 2009. In thissitcom set in a performing art high school, Grande was cast as Cat Valentine. Grande had to dye her hair red every other week for the role because the executive producer, Dan Schneider, did not want all cast members to be brunettes, and the red hair was also a feature that the network felt would fit the personality of Cat. The show began filming in October 2009 and premiered on March 27, 2010 to the second largest audience for a live-action series in Nickelodeon history with 5.7 million viewers. The role helped propel Grande to teen idol status, but she was more interested in a music career stating that acting is "fun, but music has always been first and foremost with me." Her character was compared to "Brittany Murphy's performance as the hapless Tai in Clueless" (1995) and described as being "very impressionable and easily swayed" but "generally sweet." Season two premiered on April 2, 2011 to 6.2 million viewers, becoming the highest rated episode of Victorious. In 2010, she played the role of Miriam in the musical Cuba Libre, which was written and produced by songwriter Desmond Child.
After the first season of Victorious wrapped, Grande wanted to focus on her music career and began working on her debut album in August 2010. To strengthen her vocal range, she began working with vocal coach Eric Vetro. She made her first musical appearance on the track "Give It Up" on the soundtrack Victorious: Music from The Hit TV Show in August 2011. While filmingVictorious, Grande made several recordings of herself singing covers of songs by Adele, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, and she uploaded them to YouTube. A friend of Monte Lipman, CEO of Republic Records, came across one of Grande's videos. Impressed by her vocals, he sent the links to Lipman, who signed her to a recording contract. She released her first single, "Put Your Hearts Up", in December 2011, which was cut during sessions for a teen-oriented pop album that was held up by numerous delays. She later disowned the track for its bubblegum pop sound, saying that she had no interest in recording music of that genre. The song was later certified gold by the RIAA. Also in 2011, she voiced the fairy, Princess Diaspro, in 13 episodes of the Nickelodeon animated television series Winx Club and appeared in Greyson Chance's music video for a song called "Unfriend You", portraying Chance's ex-girlfriend.

In the 2013 Nickelodeon film Swindle, an adaptation of the children's boo of the same name, Grande played Amanda Benson, along with her Sam & Cat co-star, McCurdy. It premiered on Nickelodeon in August. That same month, she lent her vocals on the duet "Almost Is Never Enough" with Nathan Sykes of the British boy band The Wanted. She also joined Justin Bieber on his Believe Tour for three shows and kicked off her own headlining tour, The Listening Sessions.

She has pulled more sounds into her repertoire while keeping her biggest weapon, a remarkable vocal range, as a steady foundation. ... My Everything is a less cohesive project than Yours Truly, although its best moments eclipse the highs of Grande's 2013 debut. The singles "Problem" and "Break Free" remain dizzying dance tunes, and back-to-back solo songs "One Last Time" and "Why Try" possess the types of flawless melodies that are typically reserved for the world's biggest pop divas. The back half of the album's many collaborations are hit-or-miss.

2015: The Honeymoon Tour, Scream Queens, and Moonlight
In early 2015, Grande embarked on her extensive The Honeymoon Tour of North America and Europe, with a few stops in Asia. Following the tour's early commercial success, 40 more dates were added through October 15, 2015. Reviews of the tour performances have praised Grande's vocals and ability to convey emotion in the songs but found the concerts to be over-produced: "Some judicious editing would've elevated the evening from surprising to satisfying and possibly even shockingly good. As it is, Grande is so busy piling on the spectacle she neglects to highlight the one thing – those deceptively powerful pipes – setting her apart from her contemporaries." The tour earned $14 million in its first 25 performances, selling 290,699 tickets.
Grande is scheduled to appear as Chanel #2, a recurring character on the new Fox comedy-horror TV series Scream Queens, created by Ryan Murphy, starring Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lea Michele. Grande is also scheduled to launch her first fragrance, Ari, in September 2015. She is set to appear in the upcoming comedy film Zoolander 2, starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. Grande filmed an episode for the Fox TV reality series Knock Knock Live, hosted by Ryan Seacrest, but the show was cancelled before Grande's episode was aired.

Personal life and other work
Grande was raised a Roman Catholic but abandoned Catholicism during the reign of Pope Benedict, citing opposition to the church's stance on homosexuality. She has followed Kabbalah teachings since at least age twelve, believing "the basis lies in the idea that if you're kind to others, good things will happen to you." Grande met actor Graham Phillips in the cast of the musical 13 in 2008 and dated him until December 2011, and Australian YouTube comedian Jai Brooks from August 2012 to July 2013. She subsequently dated The Wanted member Nathan Sykes from August to December 2013. In May 2014, she rekindled her relationship with Brooks though they separated again after three months of dating. Grande was involved with rapper Big Sean in a relationship, which ended in April 2015 after eight months of dating.
At the age of ten, Grande co-founded the South Florida youth singing group Kids Who Care, which performed for charitable fund-raising events, raising over $500,000charities in 2007 alone. In the summer of 2009, as a member of the charitable organization Broadway in South Africa, Grande performed and taught music and dance to children for Gugulethu, South Africa along with her brother Frankie. After watching Blackfish, she urged fans to stop supporting SeaWorld and has become a vegan.

Grande has taken several actions to support LGBT rights. She abandoned Catholicism for Kabbalah, believing that the Church is intolerant towards gays, and she publicly defended her brother Frankie, who is gay, from a homophobic slur by a fan. A few of her works, such as the songs "Break Your Heart Right Back" and "Break Free" also touch upon LGBT themes. In May 2015, Grande and Miley Cyrus performed a cover of Crowded House`s "Don't Dream Its Over" to raise awareness for Cyrus's Happy Hippie Foundation, which helps homeless and LGBT youths. The song was part of Cyrus's series of "Backyard Sessions" collaborations. In June 2015, Grande headlined the Dance On the Pier event, part of the LGBT Pride Week in New York City, giving "one of the best performances the event has ever seen."
Artistry
Musical style and influences
Mariah Carey, one of Ariana Grande's vocal influences |
"I love Mariah Carey. She is literally my favorite human being on the planet. And of course Whitney [Houston] as well. As far as vocal influences go, Whitney and Mariah pretty much cover it. I love Fergie as well. She's just so fun and passionate. I love that she raps as well. Like, she has a fantastic voice and she can belt Gs and As and she doesn't have to do it all the time. She just has swag and I think that's really cool."
— Grande, on her musical influences.
Grande has cited Cuban-American star Gloria Estefan as the person who inspired her to pursue a career in the music industry, after Estefan complimented a performance she saw Grande give on a cruise ship when she was eight years old. Grande cites Whitney Houston as a major influence on her career, stating that Houston has inspired her "endlessly" since she was a child. Grande also described Houston as the reason why she began singing, as well as citing Brandy Norwood as an influence, noting her "riffs" in particular.
She has also cited Madonna, Destiny's Child, Fergie, Christina Aguilera, India.Arie, Imogen Heap, and Amy Whinehouse as influences. Grande's debut album was inspired by artists like Amy Winehouse, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, and Madonna, with unreleased collaborations with SkyBlu LMFAO, 3OH!3, Kool Kojak, and Pebe Sebert. She named Keys, Carey and Beyonce as female artists she tried to channel during the three years it took to create the record. Grande described Imogen Heap as one of her influences, noting Heap's "intricate" song structure. She also cites India.Arie as an influence, calling Arie's voice "heaven" and praising her lyrical content. She has described actress and singer Judy Garland as being one of her childhood influences, stating that she grew up watching and listening to Garland, as well as praising her ability to tell "a story when she sings". Grande has stated that Big Sean, whom she dated from 2014 to 2015, is her favorite rapper and collaborator.
Voice
Grande possesses a four-octave and a semitone soprano vocal range,[155][156] and the whistle register.[157] With the release of her debut album, Yours Truly (2013), Grande has been deemed the "mini Mariah Carey" and the "new Mariah Carey" by critics because of her wide vocal range, sound and musical material.[158][159][160] Speaking on the comparisons, Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of Billboard wrote that both Carey and Grande "got the talent to let their vocals do the talking."[161] Shepherd continued, "that's not where the similarities end. [...] Grande is subverting it with cute, comfortable, and on-trend dresses with a feminine slant."[161] Grande expressed her feelings towards being compared to Mariah Carey as a "huge compliment" and a "blessing",[148][162] and often cites both Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston as influences for her work.[16][141][144] In another interview, she said: "I mean, it's a huge compliment, but when you hear my entire album, you'll see that Mariah's sound is much different than mine."[148] Her vocal display at the 2013 American Music Awards, earned praise from celebrities like Kelly Clarkson and Lady Gaga, which saw Grande singing a cappella to her hit "The Way" and aMotown-style performance of "Tattooed Heart."[163] During an interview with Sirius XM, American pop singer Katy Perry praised Grande, saying she has "the best female vocal in pop music today. She has literally the best voice, the best voice live.[164][165] In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin also commended Grande's vocal ability when he was asked if a duet with her was a possibility, to which he said "I would man, but she can sing so much better than me. I don’t want to be humiliated in that fashion, I was in the car yesterday and "Problem" was on, I was like, ‘I just can’t do that.’”[166] Steven J. Horowitz of Billboard feels that it is time to stop comparing Grande to Carey stating, "With her sophomore album, the "Problem" singer no longer resembles the elusive chanteuse – and that's okay."[160]
Public image
Grande in 2010
Grande's pristine look early in her career was described as "age appropriate" compared with other pop stars who grew up in the public eye.[161] Jim Farber of New York Daily News wrote that Grande receives less attention "for how little she wears or how graphically she moves than for how she sings."[167] In contrast to other young female artists like Miley Cyrus, Iggy Azalea, and Rihanna, Grande stated that she wants people to listen to her music "instead of look and judge": "I don't feel confident in my sexuality – or in my fashion. It's just not in my mind. I think of music first."[167] By 2014, she opted to wear short skirts and crop tops with white knee-high boots in performances and on red carpets.[168]
Although Grande drew criticism for allegedly impolite interactions with reporters and fans in 2014,[169] she dismissed these reports as "weird, inaccurate depictions" of her personality.[170] She was praised in the press and by female celebrities like Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez for an "empowering" 2015 essay posted on Twitter decrying the double standard and misogyny in the focus of the press on female musicians' relationships and sex lives, instead of "their value as an individual".[171][172] She noted that she has "more to talk about" concerning her music and accomplishments.[173][174]
Grande was seen on surveillance video in a doughnut shop in July 2015, reportedly licking uncovered baked goods and saying "I hate Americans. I hate America."[175] She responded to the reports writing that she is "extremely proud to be an American" and that her comments related to American overeating and obesity, and she apologized "for not using more discretion with my choice of words".[176] She later released a video apology for "behaving poorly", saying that she felt "disgusted" with herself after watching the footage.[177]
