Ariana Grande has hypnotized Scooter Braun. The man behind the successes of Justin Bieber, The Wanted, Carly Rae Jepsen and Psy is completely obsessed with his newest star.

Ariana Grande was discovered by Scooter Braun when he was looking at Nickelodeon shows online. He says "I kept seeing this girl online. And I knew she had a show that she was involved in on Nickelodeon, ['Victorious,'] and I would see her at different award shows and there was something very charismatic about her. I started watching videos and I started getting blown away by what an incredible voice she had. There's kind of a natural beauty about her and this charisma that make you gravitate towards her. She kind of has this warmth that makes you want to root for her, and that's what you want with an artist. The fact that she has ridiculous vocal range, it was incredible and that she can do it live."

The superstar Svengali explained “The thing about Ariana is she has that charisma and star [power]. The one thing about her, if you don’t know, is she can really dance,” Braun revealed. “And she hasn’t shown that side yet. [She] really blew me away in rehearsal one time. But the thing that’s exciting is the voice and what she can do with it. With a voice like that you can have a very long career because you can always sing.”

Grande played the 2013 Red White and Boom concert in Kansas City for Mix 93.3 radio this weekend. Ariana Grande, whose real name is Ariana Grande-Butera, debuted on Broadway in 2008 when she was 15, playing the role of Charlotte in “13.”
