If you've already heard the song 'Drivers License,' then you probably know by now that it's a song by Olivia Rodrigo. But who exactly is Olivia Rodrigo?
Well, aside from having a record-breaking song on Spotify--and also a chart-topping hit as it already debuted at number one in the U.K.--Olivia Rodrigo is basically one of the rising stars in Hollywood to watch for, both as a singer and an actress. And you just might gain a little more interest in her since she actually is half-Filipina.
Olivia Rodrigo is a Filipino-American actress and singer, who has starred in a couple of series on Disney+ and the Disney Channel.
Olivia's showbiz career began when she starred in an Old Navy commercial. After that, in 2015, she played the lead role of Grace Thomas in direct-to-video movie 'An American Girl: Grace Stirs Up Success.'
Her first big break came in 2016 when she was cast as Paige Olvera in the Disney Channel series 'Bizaardvark.'
In 2019, she landed the starring role of Nini Salazar-Roberts on the Disney+ series 'High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.'
Then in 2020, Olivia signed with Interscope Records and Geffen Records.
Her biggest shining moment came this year on January 8, when her debut single 'Drivers License' was released.
Just a week after its release, Olivia's song already broke Spotify's record twice for most daily streams ever for a non-holiday song.
On January 11, 'Drivers License' had over 15.7 million global streams on Spotify, and on the very next day, Olivia surpassed her own record with over 17 million global streams for her debut single.
Aside from being an actress and singer, the young Filipino-American celebrity is also a songwriter. Her greatest musical influences and idols are Taylor Swift and Lorde.
