Liz Gillies

Broadway performer, TV star, movie actress, and pop singer Elizabeth Gillies was born on July 26, 1993, in Haworth, New Jersey. At 15 years old, she was cast in the Broadway musical 13 alongside Ariana Grande, kickstarting a series of collaborations between the two artists. Following 13's closure on Broadway in January 2009, Gillies and Grande both landed roles on Victorious, a Nickelodeon series that showcased their dual strengths as actresses and singers. Gillies and Grande also teamed up for a popular cover of "Santa Baby," which became a Top 40 hit during the 2013 holiday season. Two years later, Gillies began portraying an aspiring rock singer in the television series Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll. Like Victorious, the show spawned two soundtracks, both of which featured multiple appearances from Gillies. In 2020, she teamed up with another television veteran — Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane — for Songs From Home, a collection of jazz songs and classic duets.
