Dove Cameron, born Chloe Celeste Hosterman on January 15, 1996, in Bainbridge Island, Washington, is a multi-talented American actress and singer known for her distinctive voice and dynamic screen presence. She rose to fame on the Disney Channel, capturing hearts with her dual role as the bubbly Liv and the athletic Maddie in Liv and Maddie (2013–2017), a performance that earned her a Daytime Emmy Award. She went on to star as Mal, the daughter of Maleficent, in Disney’s hugely successful Descendants franchise, which further cemented her place as a fan-favorite among young audiences.

Outside of Disney, Dove has continued to expand her artistic reach, starring in NBC’s Hairspray Live! and appearing in stage productions like Clueless: The Musical and The Light in the Piazza. In 2022, she made a notable film appearance in Vengeance, showcasing her growing range as an actress. Transitioning into music, Dove released her debut album Alchemical: Volume 1 in 2023, led by the hit single “Boyfriend,” which earned platinum certification and climbed into the Billboard Hot 100’s top 20. Her music blends pop and alt influences with deeply personal lyrics, often touching on identity and emotional growth. Dove came out as queer in 2020 and is vocal about her mental health journey, using her platform to advocate for self-acceptance and emotional well-being. With French, Russian, and Hungarian roots, fluency in French, and a massive international following, she continues to evolve as a fearless and authentic voice in entertainment.
