BIOGRAPHY Olivia Rodrigo “Nini” Olivia Rodrigo plays the lead role of "Nini" on "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series." Rodrigo wrote and composed the powerful song, "All I Want" for her character in the show's season one soundtrack, which has become a RIAA Gold-certified hit that cracked the Billboard Hot 100 and amassed over 448 million global streams. The track’s accompanying music video has also logged over 67 million views. Rodrigo's monumental debut single as a solo recording artist via Geffen Records, "drivers license" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, holding that position for eight consecutive weeks and breaking the record for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200. The track also hit No. 1 at Top 40 Radio—marking the quickest trip to the top spot for a first-time- charting female artist. Additionally, “drivers license” became the first song released in 2021 to hit 1 billion total global streams and be RIAA Certified at Gold, Platinum, and double- Platinum. With the release of Rodrigo’s second single, “deja vu” in April, Rodrigo became the first artist in Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart history to debut their first two entries in the chart’s top five, following the No. 1 start of “drivers license.” Rodrigo’s debut full-length studio album, "Sour" will be released on May 21, 2021. Prior to HSMTMTS, Rodrigo stared as Paige Olvera in Disney Channel's live-action comedy "Bizaardvark." Born and raised in Temecula, California, Rodrigo began taking singing and acting classes when she was six. Her love for performing continued to grow and she soon landed roles in several school plays as well as regional musical theater. She first discovered her love of songwriting at the age of 12, when she’d spend hours sketching lyrics in a notebook she’d won at an arcade, learning piano and guitar shortly thereafter. Rodrigo currently resides in Los Angeles. Twitter: @Olivia_Rodrigo; IG: @Olivia.Rodrigo; TikTok: @livebedumb .
