Olivia Rodrigo, in full Olivia Isabel Rodrigo, (born February 20, 2003, Murrieta, California, U.S.), American singer, songwriter, and actress who first gained popularity with a role on the television show High School Musical: The Musical—The Series (2019–) and who later launched a successful music career.

Rodrigo grew up in Temecula, California. Her father was a family therapist of Filipino heritage, and her mother was a teacher of German and Irish ancestry. Rodrigo began taking singing and acting lessons at an early age and a few years later added piano lessons. About the same time, she started writing songs.

In 2015 Rodrigo won the lead role in the musical Grace Stirs Up Success in the American Girl series of family movies. The next year she was cast as Paige Olvera on the Disney Channel TV show Bizaardvark. The series chronicles the comedic adventures of Paige and her best friend, both of whom hope to become famous by writing songs and creating music videos, which they post on their online channel Bizaardvark. After the show ended in 2019, Rodrigo began starring on Disney’s High School Musical: The Musical—The Series. Building on the success of the movie of the same name (and its two sequels), the TV series follows a group of high-school drama club members as they prepare and stage school performances. Rodrigo wrote and performed the song “All I Want” for a 2019 episode. The following year “Just for a Moment,” which she sang and wrote with costar Joshua Bassett, was also featured on the show.
