About Olivia Rodrigo
Artist Biography
“I’m the biggest emo drama queen,” Olivia Rodrigo (born in 2003 in Murrieta, California) told Apple Music. But the key to letting it out is keeping it together, and balancing that tension has been key to the onetime High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star, who quickly established herself as one of pop’s next-generation leaders and has since proved herself adept at combining the twist-filled, sonically dense music of ’90s alt-rock with unabashed emotionalism.
Rodrigo was just 17 when her first post-Disney hit, the weepy “drivers license”, took over pop at the beginning of 2021, but she had been getting ready for years, taking lessons in piano, voice and acting as a child. A few months later, Rodrigo released her debut album, SOUR, a breakup record with a meticulous rage: “Where’s my fucking teenage dream?” she wondered on "brutal", the album's Elastica-recalling opener. Whatever dreams she had during its genesis were vivid, as evidenced by lyrics that zero in on the details: an ex singing along to Billy Joel with his new love (the swirling “deja vu”); reading said ex’s self-help books “so you’d think that I was smart” (the stripped-down “enough for you”). GUTS, which followed in 2023, built on SOUR, with Rodrigo (and her producer and collaborator Dan Nigro) placing her pointillistic lyrics in an expanded sonic palette that incorporated influences from off-kilter ’90s acts like The Breeders (the illicit-thrill chronicle “bad idea right?”) and Butthole Surfers (the loose-limbed “get him back!”). While Rodrigo’s roots are in teen pop, her emotions—and her songs’ hooks—are relatable for listeners of all ages.
