As a child, Grande performed with the Fort Lauderdale Children's

Theater.playing her first role as the title character in Annie. She also
performed in the musicals The Wizard of Oz and Beauty and the Beast. At
the age of 8, she performed at a karaoke lounge on a cruise ship and with
various orchestras such as South Florida's Philharmonic, Florida
Sunshine Pops and Symphonic Orchestras, and she made her first national
television appearance singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" for the Florida
Panthers. She attended Pine Crest School and North Broward Preparatory
School.
By age 13, she became serious about pursuing a music career, though she
still concentrated on theater. When she first arrived in Los Angeles to meet
with her managers, she expressed a desire to record an R&B album: "I
was like, 'I want to make an R&B album,' They were like 'Um, that's a
helluva goal! Who is going to buy a 14-year-old's R&B album?!'"[6] In
2008, Grande was cast in the supporting role of cheerleader Charlotte in
the musical 13 on Broadway,for which she won a National Youth Theatre
Association Award. When she joined the musical, Grande left North
Broward Preparatory School, but continued to be enrolled; the school sent
materials to her so she could study with tutors.She also sang various times
at the New York City jazz club Birdland.
2009–2012: Breakthrough on Nickelodeon-
Grande was cast in the Nickelodeon television show Victorious along with
13 co-star Elizabeth Gillies in 2009. In this sitcom, set in a performing
arts high school, Grande played the "adorably dimwitted" Cat Valentine.
She had to dye her hair red every other week for the role because the
executive producer, Dan Schneider, did not want all the cast members to
be brunettes, and the red hair was also a feature that the network felt
would fit the personality of Cat. The show premiered in March 2010 to the
second largest audience for a live-action series in Nickelodeon history
with 5.7 million viewers.The role helped propel Grande to teen idol status,
but she was more interested in a music career, stating that acting is "fun,
but music has always been first and foremost with me." Her character was
compared to "Brittany Murphy's performance as the hapless Tai in
Clueless" (1995) and described as being "very impressionable and easily
swayed" but "generally sweet".The second season premiered in April 2011
to 6.2 million viewers, becoming the highest rated episode of Victorious.
In 2010, she played the role of Miriam in the musical Cuba Libre, written
and produced by songwriter Desmond Child.

Victorious, Grande made several recordings of herself singing covers of

songs by Adele, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, and uploaded them
to YouTube. A friend of Monte Lipman, CEO of Republic Records, came
across one of Grande's videos. Impressed by her vocals, he sent the links
to Lipman, who signed her to a recording contract. She released her first
single, "Put Your Hearts Up", in December 2011, which was recorded for
a teen-oriented pop album that was not issued. She later disowned the
track for its bubblegum pop sound, saying that she had no interest in
recording music of that genre. The song was later certified gold by the
RIAA. Also in 2011, she voiced the fairy Princess Diaspro in 13 episodes
of the Nickelodeon version of the Italian animated television series Winx
Club, appeared in Greyson Chance's music video for a song called
"Unfriend You" from his album Hold On 'til the Night, portraying
Chance's ex-girlfriend, and voiced the title role in the English dub of the
Spanish-language animated film Snowflake, the White Gorilla.
