Early life
Justice was born February 19, 1993, in Hollywood, Florida to Serene and Zack Justice.[1][2] She is of Puerto Rican descent on her mother's side, and of Irish descent on her father's.[3] Her family moved from Hollywood, Florida, to Los Angeles when she was 11 so she could pursue acting.

Justice has guest starred on several television series including Gilmore Girls and Everwood. She played "Rebecca" on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody in the episode "The Fairest of Them All". She had roles in the films Mary, When Do We Eat?, Silver Bells, The Garden, and Unknown.
Justice's first major role came in 2005 on the series Zoey 101. Her character (Lola Martinez) was a perky outgoing actress who eventually becomes best friends with other students, Zoey Brooks (Jamie Lynn Spears), Nicole Bristow (Alexa Nikolas), and Quinn Pensky (Erin Sanders). In 2009, Justice played Tammi Dyson in the Nickelodeon's original film, Spectacular!. She also had a supporting role in the feature film, The Kings of Appletown, starring Dylan and Cole Sprouse. Also in 2009, she guest starred on The Naked Brothers Band, in the iCarly episode "iFight Shelby Marx" and on True Jackson, VP. In 2010, Justice appeared in one episode of The Troop .
The Orlando Sentinel reported in August 2008 that Justice had signed a talent deal with Nickelodeon.[5] The series, Victorious, takes place in a performing arts high school and revolves around Justice's character Tori Vega as she pursues a singing career. It premiered on March 27, 2010 to 5.7 million viewers, making it the highest-rated premiere for a live action series in Nickelodeon history.[6] Justice also starred in the 2010 Nickelodeon television movie The Boy Who Cried Werewolf, playing Jordan Sands, a girl who is transformed into a werewolf following her move to a creepy manor.[7]
In an interview with the Associated Press, she stated that she is coming out with an album but will take her time with the process, rather than rush it, and write the songs on the album.[8]
