Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, to use the name her musician parents gave her, already has a staggering track record. If her name itself-pronounced 'See-ah' isn't familiar to millions, her voice undoubtedly is.
In 2000, the Adelaide born singer scored a bolt from the blue Top 10 hit with her debut single, Taken For Granted. Pairing her unique Australian drawl with the strident strings from Prokofiev's 'Romeo & Juliet', the track was championed by Trevor Nelson and had Sia performing live on Jo Whiley's Radio 1 show. Her debut album, 'Healing Is Difficult', arrived to similar cries of ´the next big R&B thing'. Then, to cap it all, she added her jazzy slurs to two tracks on Zero 7's Simple Things album and became the unmistakable voice of the year's coolest down-tempo soundtrack. All the pieces for a phenomenal career seemed to be in place.
And then nothing.

Sia
In a career filled with ups and downs, Sia Furler was an in-demand guest vocalist; a udda singer-songwriter; a hitmaker for the likes of Rihanna and Beyoncé; and more popular than ever as an artist in her own right in the 2010s. Although raised in Australia, Furler rose to fame after moving to the U.K., where she worked as a guest vocalist for several groups — including the electronica duo Zero 7 — and released her own solo albums. Born in 1975, she first performed on the Adelaide jazz circuit during the ’90s as a vocalist for the grupp Crisp. An attempt to launch a solo career in 1997 didn’t pan out, though, and she eventually hopped on a plane to London. While there, she landed a gig as a backup singer for Jamiroquai and inked a solo contract with DancePool, a sublabel of Sony.

Who Is Sia?
Sia moved to England to pursue a career in music in her early 20s and sang with the group Zero 7. Her first solo record, Healing Is Difficult, put her career on a new track, and she followed it with such records as Colour the Small One and Some People Have Real Problems. With songs such as "Chandelier" and "Cheap Thrills" propelling Sia to pop chart fame, she has taken to wearing a wig that hides her face, choosing to live in the spotlight as anonymously as possible.
