Ariana Grande (born Ariana Grande-Butera, June 26, 1993 in Boca Raton, Florida, United States), is an American Grammy award-nominated actress, singer, and songwriter. Beginning by taking a part in the Broadway musical 13 in 2008, Grande later landed the role Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon hit TV shows Victorious (2010-2013), and its spin off, Sam & Cat (2013-2014).
Grande reached mainstream success in March 2013 after her debut single "The Way" (featuring Mac Miller) from her debut studio album Yours Truly (2013), became a Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart.
In August 2014, Grande released her second studio album My Everything, which became her second number one album in the US. Its lead single, "Problem" (featuring Iggy Azalea), reached number two on Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. With four Top 10 hit singles from the album, Grande spent 34 continuous weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and had the most top 10 singles of any artist in 2014.

In May 2016, Grande released her third studio album, Dangerous Woman. It was her first album to not hit number-one on Billboard 200. The lead single, Dangerous Woman, debuted at number 10 on Billboard Hot 100, making Grande the first person in the history of that chart to have the lead single from each of her first three albums debut in the top 10.
