Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Isabel Rodrigo, born February 20, 2003, in Murrieta, California, is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter and actress. She first achieved fame in the late 2010s with her leading roles on the Disney television programs Bizaardvark and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Signing with Geffen Records in 2020, Rodrigo released her debut single 'Drivers License' in January 2021. The emotional ballad broke multiple streaming records, topped global charts, and became one of the best-selling songs of the year, catapulting her to mainstream superstardom. She followed this success with chart-topping singles like 'Deja Vu' and 'Good 4 U'.

Her debut studio album, Sour (2021), was a massive commercial and critical triumph, earning her three Grammy Awards in 2022, including Best New Artist. In September 2023, Rodrigo cemented her pop credentials with her sophomore studio album, Guts, supported by hit singles like 'Vampire' and 'Bad Idea Right?'. Rodrigo also contributed the original song 'Can't Catch Me Now' to the blockbuster soundtrack for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023), which won the Society of Composers & Lyricists Award. Blending vulnerable, diaristic lyrics with angsty pop-punk energy and alternative rock textures, Olivia Rodrigo has established herself as one of the most influential and defining musical voices of Gen Z.
