Name: Alanis Morisette
Birthday: June 1, 1974
Nationality: Canadian
Occupation: Singer
A young voice singing the confessional, unadulterated
songs of an old soul describes the works of Alanis Morissette.
The intensity and honestly in her singing and songwriting
has made her one of Canadas most successful music
sensations ever.
Born and raised in Ottawa, Morissette played the piano
and wrote her own songs before joining the popular Canadian
childrens program You Cant Do That On Television.
With profits earned from her television series she recorded
the independent single Fate Stay With Me"
when she was just ten years old. A record deal with
MCA/Canada led to her debut album Alanis, which was
released in 1991. This release, a collection of dance
tunes, went platinum and won Morissette a Juno. However,
the release in 1995 of Jagged Little Pill showed a more
mature, introspective Morissette whose release ultimately
sold over 15 million albums and garnered her four Grammys.
