Sia: from backing singer to chart-topping success

Born Sia Kate Isobelle Furler in Adelaide, Australia to a musical father and art-orientated mother, it was only natural that singer-songwriter Sia should fall into the world of arts. Her early influences included Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin and as soon as she graduated high school the born performer joined local acid jazz group Crisp. After their disbandment a few years later she embarked on her own solo career, starting with the release of debut solo album OnlySee in 1997.

The performer moved to London to explore England's music scene and was soon recruited as a background vocalist for groove king Jamiroquai. Despite top 10 singles such as "Taken for Granted" and making her way onto numerous TV and movie soundtracks she enjoyed relatively little popularity until she turned to songwriting and wrote the song "Titanium" which was originally intended for Alicia Keys but was eventually picked up by David Guetta who swapped in Sia's original vocals from the demo. The single entered the top five singles charts across the world.

Following this success she released "Elastic Heart" in conjunction with The Weeknd and Diplo for Hollywood blockbuster The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and quickly followed up with 2014 top five album 1000 Forms of Fear. The star secured her success when she dominated the airwaves with chart-topping single "Chandelier" and has gone from strength to strength since, with speedy follow-up release This is Acting following in 2016.
