In 2005, she auditioned and was accepted into the musical theatre program at Los Angeles' Millikan Performing Arts Academy.

Here's a new man in Victoria Justice's life! Multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly that the 20-year-old Nickelodeon star has split from boyfriend Ryan Rottman -- and is already dating someone else. "It happened awhile ago," an insider tells Us of Justice's break up with Rottman, 29. "They are at different points in their life and both had been traveling. They've both moved on."
And it doesn't sound like there are any hard feeling between the Victorious actress and Lying Game actor, who first began dating back in 2011.
"Ryan is working on Happyland with MTV and Victoria just finished another show [Eye Candy] for MTV, so they're still on the same network," the insider explained. "They are both seeing other people now." Indeed, a second source tells Us the singer and actress is now dating her Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List costar Pierson Fode. The two were recently spotted getting cozy at the Boohoo.com viewing party at the Staples Center's Hyde Lounge for Beyonce's Mrs. Carter Show World Tour and after that they hit Bootsy Bellows until late. "Their PDA was on a different level throughout the concert," an onlooker tells Us. "They were super affectionate and open about it. Her arms were around him most of the night, dancing and kissing."
Victoria Justice sits on Santa’s lap during Delta Air Lines’ Holiday in the Hangar ‘Flight to the North Pole’ at LAX Airport on Wednesday (December 11) in Los Angeles. The 20-year-old actress was on hand for the event which brought kids of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and P.S. Arts. After the children arrived, they were greeted by Victoria, Mr. Peabody, Sherman and Shrek, the Coca-Cola Polar Bear and LA Lakers alum AC Green. The kids also took part in fun activities including playing games provided by the LA Lakers and Kings, showing off their DJ skills with the GRAMMY Museum, receiving gifts and autographs, and singing holiday songs and making holiday crafts.
Justice has taken part in several charity events. She has supported charities such as the United Nations Foundation, which benefits numerous causes such as AIDS, Children, Environment, Health, Human Rights and Peace. On September 30, 2010, Justice announced she would be joining the Charity Campaign Girl Up. When asked about joining, she stated "I’m so excited to become a Champion for Girl Up and to help make a difference for girls who aren’t given the same opportunities that most of us take for granted. I know that there are plenty of girls throughout the country who are just like me—ready and motivated to stand up for the rights and well-being of girls in the developing world.
I am confident that, together, we will rise to the challenge." Justice joined Girl Up on September 30, 2010, for the campaign’s official launch in New York City and will go on to support the “Unite for Girls” tour, which travels to cities across the U.S. to activate and engage teens from coast to coast. She will have the chance to visit Girl Up-supported programs in developing countries to observe first-hand the impact they can have on girls and communities.
During an interview with Seventeen, Justice stated, I'm a 17-year-old girl, and I have all of these opportunities, but there are other 17-year-old girls who have zero opportunities, which is why I'm working with Girl Up. I was looking into different charities and hearing these girls in Guatemala and Africa talk about having to walk miles for water and crying because they don't have any money to go to school. It just really broke my heart, so I want to spread the word as much as I can and get other people working together. Before you know it we can actually make a difference.
Justice has also supported children's hospitals. In June 2012, the "Music Makes It Better" campaign was launched by Children's National Medical Center, featuring PSAs by Justice, Justin Bieber, and The Band Perry. The campaign aims to bring music, arts, and other programs to children while they're in the hospital.
Justice's debut single, "Gold," was released on June 18, 2013. The single also has a B-side titled "Shake." On October 11, 2013, it was announced that Justice was cast as Lindy Sampson in MTV's Eye Candy, a cyber thriller based on the novel by R. L. Stine. Justice's debut album is expected to be released sometime in 2014. Aside from the lead single "Gold" and its B-side "Shake," two songs have premiered on Justice's YouTube channel, "Caught Up in You" and "Girl Up." "Girl Up" was written by Justice and Toby Gad for the Girl Up movement, which helps girls in developing countries.
