Olivia Rodrigo

Discover talented singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo’s life story, from her first acting roles as a child to becoming a global superstar! 

Born in Murrieta, California, Olivia's love of music began when she was just a child. Her mother introduced her to alternative rock and, inspired by what she heard, Olivia was soon writing and singing her own songs. She competed in talent shows, learnt the piano and the guitar, and music quickly became her biggest passion. 

But it wasn’t just music that captured Olivia’s attention. At an early age she started acting and although she wasn’t an overnight success, she continued performing, auditioning, and trying her very best. One of her biggest breaks came when she landed a starring role in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Her time on the show introduced her to audiences around the world—but this was just the beginning of Olivia’s groundbreaking success.

When Olivia signed her first record deal, her career soared. Her singles turned into record-breaking hits, making her one of the most loved, streamed, and listened to artists in the world. Fans around the world were drawn to Olivia’s songs, which never shy away from the real, raw, messy struggles of growing up. Olivia’s down-to-earth personality, her vulnerable and relatable lyrics, and her high-energy live performances have made her a role model to budding musicians everywhere. Olivia’s story shows us all that as well as being successful, you can be honest and true to yourself—one the greatest gifts a person can give to themselves.

This inspirational book features stylish illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of Olivia’s life.
