OLIVIA RODRIGO

Who is Olivia Rodrigo?

Olivia Rodrigo (born February 20, 2003) is an American singer, songwriter and actress born in Temecula, California. Her debut single Drivers License was released on January 8, 2021 and endorsed by Taylor Swift, who said: "I say that's my baby and I'm really proud", referencing a meme featuring Taylor's own Mum Alison.

Olivia has appeared in Disney Channel series Bizaardvark as Paige Olvera, and stars in the Disney+ TV show High School Musical: The Musical: The Series as Nini Salazar-Roberts. All I Want, a song taken from the series, became Olivia's first to chart on the UK's Official Singles Chart Top 100. Olivia is particularly popular on Instagram and TikTok and was named in Variety's Power of Young Hollywood list.

Olivia's debut album SOUR reached Number 1 on the UK's Official Albums Chart in May 2021, in the same week that her single Good 4 U reigned supreme, making Olivia at age 18 years and 3 months the youngest solo artist in history to claim the Official UK Chart Double.

SOUR also broke an Official Chart record for the most first-week streams ever for a debut album, surpassing Lewis Capaldi's Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent. Good 4 U went onto become the longest-reigning rock influenced UK Number 1 single in 18 years since Evanescence's Bring Me To Life in 2003. In June 2021, Olivia Rodrigo became the first female solo artist to claim three simultaneous UK Top 5 singles with Good 4 U, Deja Vu and Traitor.
