My Name Is Ariana Grande And I Am 18 Years Old :) And I Am of Italian descent, half Sicilian, half Abruzzese. My older brother is actor-producer Frankie Grande & I studies voice with Eric Vetro. As a child, I began performing at Boca Raton’s former Little Palm Theatre for Young People. A few years later, I started to perform in Fort Lauderdale Children's Theater (FLCT).
