Biography

Early life

She moved to Los Angeles in 1998, right before her 9th birthday. After meeting many agents, she chose Cindy Osbrink. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her family.

Acting career

Larson's first job was performing in sketches on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and soon after, was cast in two back-to-back television series. One of the series was Schimmel which was announced but never aired, because right before filming, Robert Schimmel was diagnosed with cancer. After being "on hold" for ten months, FOX cancelled the show.

Three weeks later she auditioned for a new show on The WB, which at the time was called In Your Dreams, Larson landed the role of Emily (the youngest daughter to Bob Saget's character) and the show was selected for the 20012002 fall season and was renamed Raising Dad. The show was cancelled late into the season, so she was not able to audition for a new series until next pilot season.

In 2003, Brie was one of the main characters in the Disney Channel Original Movie Right on Track. She played Courtney Enders and the movie is based on an original story.

In July 2004, she co-starred with a large cast of teen actors in the film Sleepover, playing the vicious popular girl Liz.

After her album being pushed back numerous times, her record label released Finally Out of P.E. - The DVD on May 24, 2005 featuring her video for "She Said" and the making of the video plus her Sessions@AOL performances.

Larson released a follow-up single, "Life After You". The song debuted on AOL's Kids Online on June 27. She also sings the end credit track in the movie Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus. A music video featuring Larson performing the song appears as a bonus feature on the movie's DVD.

In 2006, Brie co-wrote and performed a song in Hoot OST, "Coming Around". The soundtrack entered in Billboard 200. After Hoot was released, Brie Larson's album sales increased slightly, going from 5,500 to 6,000.

On March 1, 2006, Brie performed an acoustic set of new songs at L.A.'s famous Viper Room. New material included "Dear Universe, "Powershift", "Stilts and the Titanic", and "Superstition". Larson also performed "Falling Into History", a track from her debut album and "Closer to Fine", a cover of the Indigo Girls song.
