Sia is an Australian singer and songwriter known for a powerful voice, emotional songwriting and a refusal to show her face in public. Born Sia Kate Isobelle Furler on December 18, 1975, in Adelaide, she spent years as an indie artist and in-demand songwriter before her own breakthrough.
The songwriter
Uncomfortable with fame, Sia stepped back from performing to write for others. She co-wrote “Diamonds” for Rihanna, songs for Katy Perry and Beyonce, and recorded the demo vocal for “Titanium” with David Guetta, which he released as a hit.
1000 Forms of Fear
Her 2014 album 1000 Forms of Fear debuted at number one and produced “Chandelier”, a global hit with videos starring dancer Maddie Ziegler. The song earned four Grammy nominations.
This Is Acting
This Is Acting (2016) gathered songs she had written for other artists and turned them into her own, including the number-one “Cheap Thrills”.
The wig
To protect her privacy, Sia began performing with her face hidden behind an oversized wig, a look that became her signature. She has won ten ARIA Awards and earned nine Grammy nominations.
