Ariana Grande: Five Things to Know About Nickelodeon's Rising Star [PHOTOS]
Disney stars namely Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato aren't the only superstars making waves in the business today. Nickelodeon also has one "Victorious" celebrity in Ariana Grande. The redhead singer has recently been making the news all thanks to her powerhouse vocals. Here are all things every "Arianator" should know about Grande.
Since making it to the Nickelodeon show "Victorious", Ariana Grande has long been a household name. Starring along Avan Jogia and Victoria Justice, Grande played the role as Cat Valentine. Despite being ditzy and clumsy, Ariana's character Cat has caught the funny bone of Nick viewers.
Though the show "Victorious" may have ended abruptly for unclear reasons, Grande's stardom surely did not. Grande stars in an all new television series alongside "iCarly" star, Jennette McCurdy in "Sam & Cat." The hilarious antics resume involving bills and babies.
A new television show isn't the only worth watching out for because Grande is set to debut her first album, "Daydreamin'" in a few months. Even with the five foot flat height, Grande has powerful vocals to boot that even "X-Factor's" Demi Lovato and Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun are quite impressed with. In fact, Braun was "blown away" by Grande's singing that she's set to open for Justin Bieber's upcoming world tours.
"I grew up on that stuff. ... It was a fun album to be a part of. It was a fun album to get the demos in my email [for] and listen to and say, 'Damn'," says Braun about Grande's music, adding, "You don't expect it from her and that's what I like about her. Music today isn't defined by what color you are or where you're from or what genre you're supposed to be in. The genres are all crossed and the races are all crossed, and at the end of the day, [music is] supposed to be the universal language and we're finally seeing in the industry where [music] is the universal language and genres are universal."
