Childhood and first steps to success
On June 26, 1993, joy happened in the family of Joan Grande and Edward Butera: their daughter was born. The baby was born in the small town of Boca Raton, located on the east coast of Florida. Noticing the potential of their children, their parents instilled in Ariana and her older brother Frank a love of creativity from an early age. The latter, by the way, became a successful actor and manager of the singer.
Grande was not four years old when her parents sent her to play in the theater. The girl played her first role in the musical Annie, and then in the productions of The Wizard of Oz and Beauty and the Beast. The future star made her debut on television by singing the US anthem at the age of eight.
Already at the age of 13, Grande began to think about a musical career. She began working hard on her vocals with teacher Eric Vetro. It was from him that such world stars as Pink, Katy Perry and Jason Derulo studied. As we can see, Vetro’s lessons are bearing fruit. After this, Ariana's career was taken over by her brother Frank.
Dreaming of becoming a singer, at the age of 14 Grande flew to Los Angeles and told her managers that she wanted to record an R&B album. However, the answer turned out to be unsatisfactory. Since then, the girl’s acting career began.
Biography of the singer
Ariana Grande is an amazing example of beauty and enormous talent in one guise. The girl manifests herself in many creative directions. Now fans around the world are eagerly awaiting her new records; she, with the help of her voice and timbre, is able to put the listener into a trance. But this is not her only calling; viewers can see her in many television projects and feature films. As they say, a talented person shows talent in everything.
On June 26, 1993, the future actress and singer was born in the small town of Boca Raton, which is located in the east of Florida in North America.
She was not the only child in the family; she has an older brother, Frankie. He has now grown up to be an actor and producer, and will later become his younger sister's main representative in the world of show business.
The children grew up in a warm and caring atmosphere; parents tried to surround their loved ones with everything they needed. They are not directly related to the world of cinema or the theater stage. Ariana's father is engaged in graphic design and organized his own company; her mother is the head of an industrial organization installing alarm systems and providing telephone communications. Despite this, parents strongly encouraged every creative action of their children and never put a spoke in their wheels. They were ready to accept any choice of their daughter.
When our heroine was 8 years old, her parents decided to file for divorce and mutually separated. This did not affect the relationship with my father and mother in any way. Now she visits them often. While still very young, the girl was enrolled in the local music theater “Little Palm Theatre”. Even then she began to show herself as an extraordinary person. The girl played every role perfectly on the small stage and gradually began to win the attention of the public at open events and performances. At the age of four, Ariana first appeared on television and was entrusted with performing the US anthem. From that moment on, acting became a part of her life.
This was followed by the first serious roles. First there was the musical Annie, and then The Wizard of Oz and Beauty and the Beast. This is how the future singer spent her childhood in constant rehearsals and intense attention to her person. When the girl turned thirteen years old, she had a desire to try herself as a performer. Therefore, she enrolls in vocal training courses with the famous teacher Eric Vetro from Hollywood, who has been a mentor to many popular world stars, prime examples being Katy Perry and Pink. It was the new master who was able to emphasize the unique timbre in her voice and find herself. Eric himself spoke positively about the talent of the young student.
In 2007, after arriving in Los Angeles for negotiations with a manager, the girl announced that she wanted to record an album in the R'n'B style, but our heroine was refused. She was encouraged to further develop her acting skills. She had no choice but to conquer the theater stage again.
In 2008, a serious breakthrough occurred in her career; after an audition, she was accepted for the lead role in D. R. Brown’s musical “13.” The girl showed all her talent and literally dazzled the audience with her movements and performance on stage. For her participation in this production, she was highly praised by critics and nominated for an award from the National Youth Theater Association. At that time she was already 15 years old. From this moment begins the professional path to the pinnacle of fame of our heroine.
