Biography
Sia - Australian singer who works in jazz styles, folk, soul and pop. Despite the fact that the artist is among the most famous stars of the international scene, it prefers to remain in the shade. For this reason, SIA is never removed in its own clips, and on the stage goes to a wig hiding her face.Childhood and youth
Sia Kate Isobel Ferrole (the full name of the singer) was born on December 18, 1975 in the city of Adelaide (South Australia). It is worth noting that the atmosphere of the all-consuming creative anarchy surrounded the performer from the first years of her life.
Fil Cholson's father read lectures on art at a local college, and Mama Loen Ferler led the farm and engaged in raising her daughter. In their free time, the spouses performed in the cafe and bars in the composition of the Soda Jerx rocabilly team organized by them.
In the youthful years, Kate was a fan of sting work, the performer of the classic rhythm end-blues of Arset Franklin and Stevie Wonder. Later, Sia admitted that their voices were then mixed in her head and sound in thoughts to this day.
In conversations with representatives of the media, the artist repeatedly said that when parents left the tour, leaving the hot child's favorite child, she, to have fun, often danced in front of the mirror, imitating his favorite performers. After many years, these children's memories have formed the basis of the video clips on the song "Chandler".
Sia School hated, training was not easy for her, and she did not use any particularly popular with classmates, causing them only ridicule and insults.
At the age of 17, the Ferrer first came out on the stage as part of the local jazz-funk group The Crisp, but it was not detached for a long time.

Both plates failed in a commercial plan, but they gave to understand the young singer that it was time for her to do a solo career.
Personal life

The couple went to travel to Thailand, but Dan's work had to return to London before Sia. A week before her arrival, the guy knocked the car to death.After this tragedy, the singer was immersed in deep depression, accompanied by the uncontrolled use of alcohol and drugs.
