Biography:
"Born in Adelaide, South Australia, Sia began her musical journey singing with the acid jazz band Crisp in the mid-1990s. She relocated to the UK in the late 1990s and began releasing solo material, including the album Healing Is Difficult (2001). She gained further recognition collaborating with acts such as Zero 7, and writing songs for popular artists, including Britney Spears and Beyoncé. Her breakthrough as a solo artist came with her album 1000 Forms of Fear (2014) and the hugely successful single "Chandelier". This album also marked the beginning of her trademark look with the large wig that concealed her face. This choice was intentional as she wanted to maintain a private life while continuing to be a performer. In 2013, Sia publicly identified as queer, noting that she has dated both men and women. Sia has also directed and produced music videos for herself and others, demonstrating a talent for visual storytelling. She continues to release music and collaborate with other artists while steadfastly avoiding fame-related media attention.
