She gained fame through Broadway and Nickelodeon, eventually becoming a Grammy award winner.

"As soon as I could speak, I was singing," she says, reflecting on her upbringing in a musical family surrounded by various genres and artists.
"I always loved the divas [with] the big, big voices... I looked up to Whitney and Mariah and Celine endlessly," Grande shares about her influences.
"That operatic sound needed to be strengthened and found in my voice and trained to become authentic sounding," Grande reveals about her preparation for Wicked.
"My involvement with the film is a 'beautiful gift,'" Grande expresses her gratitude for being part of the Wicked production.
