Her music was supposed to accompany the film "Spider-Man 2", and the singer even posed in a "spider-colored" outfit for the cover of the single. But unfortunately, due to a conflict with the company with which Furler collaborated at that time, this plan did not materialize.
Sia has acted in films herself. She played the role of a singer in a New York bar in the movie Jim from Piccadilly.
Your own or someone else's success
Sia is one of the most sought after songwriters. The compositions she wrote for Christina Aguilera, the latter called the heart of the Bionic record. Collaborated with Eminem, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, David Guetta. But the most famous and major hit Sia, written for another artist, is the song Diamonds, which was sung by Rihanna. Surprisingly, the words of the composition, which for a long time kept at the top of various charts, were written in just 14 minutes.
personal drama
Sia suffered from depression, had prerequisites for alcoholism and even tried to commit suicide. And all because of the tragic death of her first love named Dan. After going on a trip together, Sia had to stay in Thailand while her boyfriend returned home. However, a week before the arrival of the singer, Dan died. This was followed by alcohol and drug abuse, a nervous breakdown after recording the song Breathe Me. Sia had to go through a full course of rehabilitation therapy to recover.
Disease on the way to music
Sia sometimes cancels her concerts because she doesn't feel well. The singer suffers from Graves' disease. It is an autoimmune disease caused by an enlarged thyroid gland. Its symptoms are muscle weakness, irritability, heart palpitations. The singer reassured her fans, noting that after the rest she feels better.

Chandelier
The video for this song caused a mixed reaction from the audience. But the fact that he stirred up Sia fans is unequivocal. What is the number of views on YouTube - more than 1 billion. "Best Video", "Best Composition", "Best Choreography" - critics and leading magazines spoke favorably about Chandelier. Sia finally wrote a hit for herself, many of them said, hinting at the success of her songs performed by other singers. The clip really has a certain autobiographical character. A little girl is dancing in a half-empty abandoned apartment - it looks rather strange and gothic. The dancer's costume is a T-shirt that gives the impression that the heroine is completely naked. Subsequently, Sia spoke about how when her musician parents were on tour, she was completely alone. Sometimes even without food. Left to her own devices, she spent her time dancing naked around the apartment.
Madeley Ziegler, the same dancing girl, was persuaded by Sia to participate in the video via Twitter.
In the list of owners of an unusual and melodic voice, singer Sia has long been an honorary place. The girl's biography is full of unexpected stories, because at first the singer was accepted only in narrow circles, and only in the early 2000s did many music lovers recognize her songs. It was very difficult for her: she had to go through many difficulties.
The childhood of the singer
The performer was born in Australia, in a family of musicians, in winter, in December, on the 18th of 1975. Kate's father Isobel Furler (full name of the singer) was a musician and changed jobs very often. The mother of the emotional artist also wrote songs, sang and composed music. Sia's biography is different from the life stories of other famous singers whose parents were also involved in music. The little girl was left to herself: without food and attention.
Staying at home in splendid isolation, the future star imagined how she would conquer the stage.
But, despite this, mother and daughter communicate well, as Sia herself claims. Photos, childhood biography of baby Sia remain her little secret.
The beginning of creativity
From an early age, the popular performer danced and sang. The baby's relatives had no doubts that Sia's biography would be filled with concerts, releases of albums and singles.
She herself wanted to conquer the stage with her voice. But the vacancy in the karaoke bar, where she spent every evening, Furler had to refuse, since she was still a schoolgirl. It was very difficult to make such a decision, because she hated school. And because of her extraordinary principles and behavior, her classmates did not like her.
As a teenager, she was lucky enough to work in the group The Crisp. It would seem that this is a dream come true. But it was not possible to make a career with this group, because all attempts to become famous were unsuccessful, and she eventually left the group.
Solo career
The singer Sia tried herself as a solo artist. Ferner's biography is full of failures, because the first disc, which she released for sale, did not bring the desired popularity and recognition. Only 1200 albums were sold.
Perhaps the whole point is the originality of the emotional artist. After all, the public is wary of those performers who introduce something new into pop culture. The appearance and voice of the singer turned out to be not the best combination for music lovers. I had to accept defeat again.
But the Australian rebel did not give up and did what she loves.
Luck in creativity
Only with the move to England, the girl finally gets the long-awaited place in the sun. She began to work as a backing singer for popular
2000 was a significant year for Furler, as she began recording her solo album with Sony Music.
Her first successful work was the album "Healing is difficult." Critics spoke well of her efforts, and her songs began to play in famous clubs in England.
Sia's biography began to fill with positive moments. For the first time, her track "Take it for granted" was in the forefront of the popular English music chart.
But her fame was not worldwide. She was popular only in England and in Australia. In European and American popular music competitions, her work was not listed.
But after the release of the album in 2003, this problem was solved, since the artist's songs were played in America and Europe almost every hour. And the song "Breathe with me" became known to every music lover.
Sia's biography is filled with tragic moments, because shortly before meeting her betrothed, she had a tragic love story.
Sia met her great love after she moved to Great Britain. Their love could be envied: they were always and everywhere together, traveled to different countries. But the guy was hit by a car when the artist was in Thailand. The singer experienced the death of her beloved very hard: she began to succumb to addictions. Only after complex treatment and meetings with psychologists did the girl wake up, she began to think over all her misdeeds, her condition improved.
Time passed, old shocks began to be forgotten.
After that, people around her noticed a ring with a shiny pebble on her finger. The wedding was not long in coming.
In the summer of 2014, she tied the knot with renowned filmmaker Eric Lang.
Rihanna's song "Diamonds", which has long occupied an honorable place in popular music ratings, was written by an Australian artist.
She herself writes lyrics not only for her singles, but also for popular American stars: K. Minogue, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, David Guetta.
The little rebel was an ardent defender of gays, lesbians and blacks at school.
Animals are her weakness. She loves them very much.
She found out about her bisexuality after the death of her first love, having started dating a girl from a popular group.
Sia does not eat meat and non-vegetable products.
She loves to pamper the audience and her fans with strange images.
Her video for the song "Chandelier" achieved great popularity thanks to the worldwide discussion. After all, the clip reveals acute problems. But it is also symbolic for the artist. After all, the little gymnast girl in the video is the image of little Ferler in childhood.
Each music video has its own story and is filmed with a certain symbolism.
This is what Sia experienced. The biography of the diva is full of disappointments and victories. But really talented and persistent people always manage to find their place under the sun and stars. This can be seen by getting acquainted with the creative path of the most emotional Australian star. The success and life story of the owner of an unusual voice should become an example for all novice performers, for those who dream of full halls of fans. People should understand that fame is not easy, it must be earned.
The famous musician Sia, whose real name is Kate, was born on December 18, 1975 in the small Australian town of Adelaide. Her father, Phil, and mother, Loen, were and are also involved in music. Perhaps this is what influenced Sia's decision to connect his life with singing songs and long tours. At that time, no one could even imagine all her seriousness and mood. The girl recorded her first albums in her hometown in the Crisp jazz band, the only thing was that it was impossible to call them the first solo and successful ones. Only by 1997, with a small circulation, they managed to gather their first fans who wanted to hear other compositions, as well as to declare themselves solo. Not only was she able to take the first step towards her dream, she also managed to prove to everyone that she deserves to stand on the big stage or release albums.Singer Sia's personal life
The further life of the girl developed in such a way that she had to move to England. At first, only difficulties and failures awaited her, but after she managed to sign a contract with DancePool itself, everything changed fundamentally. The singer releases another disc "Healing Is Difficult", thanks to which she became recognized in narrow circles. It is also no secret that it was here that she met her first love - a young, handsome guy Dan. It would seem that their happiness could not be the limit. But fate has its own plans. Once, the couple went on a trip to Europe, and after the rest, Sie stopped in Thailand, and Dan had to return to the capital. A week before the arrival of his beloved, he is hit by a car. Upon learning of what had happened, the girl for three years was looking for support and oblivion among alcoholic beverages and drugs. However, it could not continue like this. After completing a full course of therapy, she began to devote herself completely to work, achieving more and more new heights.Singer Sia's Achievements
