Born in 1999, Sabrina Carpenter discovered her passion for singing at the tender age of 10. With unwavering support from her family, her father even built her a recording studio to nurture her dream. Sabrina's early career began with her starring role in Disney Channel's "Girl Meets World" (2014-2017).

Despite being a Gen Z talent like Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Lil Nas X, Sabrina's rise to fame came later. Between 2015 and 2019, she released four studio albums, including "Eyes Wide Open" (2015), "Evolution" (2016), "Singular: Act I" (2018), and "Singular: Act II" (2019), but they didn't achieve significant commercial success.
