Ko ia te tamahine a Joan Grande, te Tumuaki o Hose-McCann Communications, he kaihanga taputapu whakawhitiwhiti korero me te ahuru, me Edward Butera, he rangatira hoahoa whakairoiro i Boca Raton. He uri Itari a Grande, a e kii ana ia ko ia he Itariana Amerika, "he haurua Sicilian me te haurua Abruzzese". I whakauruhia tona ingoa e Princess Oriana mai i Felix the Cat: The Movie. He tuakana tana tuakana, a Frankie Grande, he kaiwhakaari me te kaiwhakanao, he whanaungatanga tata tana ki tana kuia whaea, a Marjorie Grande. I neke te whanau a Grande mai i New York ki Florida i te wa e hapu ana tona whaea ki a ia, ana ka wehe ona maatua i te wa e 9 ranei ona tau. I a ia e tamariki ana, i mahi a Grande me te Whare Tapere Tamariki o Fort Lauderdale, i takaro i tana mahi tuatahi hei tohu taitara i Annie. I mahi ano ia i roto i nga waiata The Wizard of Oz me te Ataahua me te kararehe. I te 8 o ona tau, i mahi ia i tetahi ruma karaoke i runga i te kaipuke tere moana me nga roopu puoro maha penei i te Philharmonic o South Florida, Florida Sunshine Pops me Symphonic Orchestras, ana i puta tuatahi ia i te pouaka whakaata a motu e waiata ana i te "The Star-Spangled Banner" mo nga Florida Panthers. I haere ia ki Pine Crest School me North Broward Preparatory School. I te 13 o ona tau, i tino kaha ia ki te whai i tetahi mahi puoro, ahakoa kei te aro tonu ia ki te whare tapere. I tana taenga tuatahi ki Los Angeles ki te whakatau i ana kaiwhakahaere, i kii ia i te hiahia ki te tuhi i tetahi pukaemi R&B: "I penei ahau, 'Kei te hiahia ahau ki te hanga i tetahi pukaemi R&B,' I penei ratou, 'Um, he whaainga tino nui tera! Ko wai ka hoko i te pukaemi R&B a te tamaiti 14-tau te pakeke?!'" I te tau 2008, i tukuna a Grande ki te mahi tautoko i te kaitautoko a Charlotte i roto i te waiata 13 i Broadway, i toa ai ia i te National Youth Theatre Association Award. I a ia e uru ana ki te puoro, ka wehe a Grande i te Kura Whakangungu o Broward ki te Raki, engari i haere tonu ia ki te whakauru; i tukuna mai e te kura nga rauemi ki a ia kia taea ai e ia te ako me nga kaiako.
