Brenda Song was born on March 27, 1988, in Carmichael, California,[1][8][9] a suburb of Sacramento, to a Thai father from Bangkok and Thai Hmong mother from Chiang Mai.[10] Her paternal grandparents were from the Xiong clan (; Xyooj in Hmong), but changed their last name to Song after arriving in the United States.[10] Her parents were born in Thailand and met as adults in Sacramento. Her father works as a school teacher and her mother, a homemaker. She has two younger brothers named Timmy and Nathan Song.[11][12]

When she was six years old, Song moved with her mother to Los Angeles, California, to support her acting career; the rest of the family followed two years later. As a young girl, Song wanted to do ballet, while her younger brother wanted to take taekwondo. She said, "My mom only wanted to take us to one place," so they settled on taekwondo. Although Song cried all the way through her first class,[13] she now holds a black belt in taekwondo. Song was named an All-American Scholar in the ninth grade. She was homeschooled and earned a high school diploma at age 16,[11][10] then took courses at a community college. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 2009,[14] majoring in psychology[10] and minoring in business.[15][16][17]

"She came in confident [at the auditions]. She was very focused, and it was very obvious that she loved what she was doing," said Sung.[13] The film is about a waitress/dancer named Fong who remembers her loving brother and their bittersweet childhood in Hong Kong. The seven-year-old Song played a young version of "Fong", who is portrayed as an adult by Tamlyn Tomita.

Speaking of the time, she said, "My mom got breast cancer for the first time, I booked Suite Life, and I was accepted into the college I'd always wanted to go to." Her father encouraged her to take the role on Suite Life.[27]

In 2005, Song began appearing in the role of spoiled heiress London Tipton in the Disney Channel Original Series, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. The role was initially named "Paris" in an allusion to Paris Hilton.[11][28][29] She got the role without an audition[30] Song says, "London is my fantasy person, I wish I could be her. I wish I had her closet."[11] The series is about the residents and workers at the fictional Tipton Hotel in Boston and mainly centers around the trouble-making twins, Zack and Cody Martin (Dylan and Cole Sprouse). The series premiered on the Disney Channel on March 18, 2005, receiving four million viewers, making it the most successful premiere for the Disney Channel in 2005.[31] The series earned a 2007 Young Artist Award for "Best Family Television Series (comedy)",[32] Emmy nominations for "Outstanding Children's Program" (twice)[33] and "Outstanding Choreography",[34] and three Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award nominations for "Favorite TV show" in 2007, 2008, and 2009.[35] In 2006 Song earned an Asian Excellence Award nomination for "Outstanding Newcomer" for her part in the series.[36]

Song's first starring role as the title character was in the 2006 Disney Channel Original Movie Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior,[38] which had over 5.7 million viewers at its premiere.[18][39] Song was originally planned to play a supporting role, but was offered the lead after starting training in martial arts. Lydia Cook, one of the films's directors, said, "She had the perfect combination of wit and martial arts."[13] The film was about a Chinese-American teenager whose life is turned upside down by a visit from a young Chinese monk (Shin Koyamada); it also deals with Wendy's culture and heritage.[40] Disney Channel executive vice president Gary Marsh called the film "Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and said of Song: "She's incredibly talented, she's smart. She adds diversity to our network, and she's a real kid."[40] Song felt she could relate to the character's struggles with her heritage since she knew little about her own people before making the film.[11][41] To promote the film, she posed for the cover of Seventeen, Teen People, Teen, Seventeen Malaysia, and several other magazines,[42] and traveled to Malaysia, Singapore, and Costa Rica.[43] The film received positive reviews from critics.
