Early life

Sia Kate Isobelle Furler was born in Adelaide, South Australia on 18 December 1975.[1][2] Her father, Phil Colson, was a musician in various bands including Foreday Riders, Rum Jungle, Fat Time, Jump Back Jack, and Mount Lofty Rangers.[2][3] Her mother, Loene Furler, was an art lecturer who also provided backing vocals for Mount Lofty Rangers.[2] Her parents were both in an Adelaide rockabilly band, The Soda Jerks.[4] Furler is the niece of singer-songwriter Colin Hay of Men at Work – Colson briefly played guitar for the group.[2][4] In her 2008 NPR Music interview, she said that she had mimicked other singers while growing up and counts Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Sting as her early influences.[5] She attended Adelaide High School.[2] At fourteen, Furler said, her parents had enough money to pay for her getting her now famous snaggletooth removed, or a chance to stay in Italy. Furler chose Italy, and she said that she doesn't regret keeping her snaggletooth.

Career

Discovering her voice and Italy

Discovering her voice in a karaoke bar while in Italy, taking a university gap year, Sia explains to gigwise.com: “I got up and sang at this karaoke bar in Italy. I didn’t like any of the songs they had so I just got them to clap their hands and sang ‘Lean On Me’ by Bill Withers.” Because of her unique singing voice, Furler was offered the chance to record a song by a local DJ who happened to be in the bar. Fourteen years on and it all seems rather distant and amusing, as Sia recounts holding back the laughter: “I was seventeen and writing about racism and homophobia; I had a message and wanted to change the world. Then I went back to university in Adelaide (the University of Adelaide) to finish studying Italian and Politics and I hated it after having spent a year out of school, so I quit straight away.” [6]

Crisp and OnlySee

In the early 1990s, Sia Furler started gigging in the Adelaide acid jazz scene and at the age of 17, joined the jazz funk band, Crisp.[1][4] Crisp included Furler on vocals, Jesse Flavell on guitar, Jeremy Glover on bass guitar, Sam Langley, Ben Timmis on keyboards, Steve Rooney on drums.[7][8] The group released two albums: Word and the Deal (1996) and Delerium (1997).[7][8] By 1997, Furler had left Crisp and as a trip hop artist, released her debut solo album OnlySee from an Adelaide garage – which sold 1,200 copies, 1,000 in Adelaide alone. It was produced by former Crisp band mate Flavell, who also wrote most of the tracks, for Flavoured Records.[8] During a November 1997 episode of Home and Away in her OnlySee days, Sia guest starred on the show and she sang a song called "How to Breathe" on a beach after Rebecca and Travis are declared husband and wife.[9][10] Furler and her boyfriend, Dan, travelled together on a world trip, she stopped off in Thailand. Dan was killed in a traffic accident in London, a week before she arrived. She lived in a London boarding house with Dan's friends.[4][11] In 2007 Furler recalled the impact of Dan's death, "We were all devastated, so we got shit-faced on drugs and Special Brew. Unfortunately, that bender lasted six years for me."[11]

Healing is Difficult

In 2000, Sia Furler signed a recording contract with the Sony Music sub-label Dance Pool.[11] While living in London, she performed backing vocals for Jamiroquai, a British jazz funk band.[1] On 9 July 2001 she released her second solo album, Healing is Difficult, an eclectic mix of R&B and jazz, that was favourably received by critics. All the tracks were written or co-written by Furler and it was co-produced by Furler and Blair Mackichan.[12][13] The album included the songs "Drink to Get Drunk" and "Little Man" which became popular in UK nightclubs. The album's single "Taken for Granted", reached No. 10 in the UK Singles Chart in June 2000.[14] The album's lyrics dealt with her boyfriend's death, "I was pretty fucked up after Dan died. I couldn't really feel anything. I could intellectualise a lot of stuff; that I had a purpose, that I was loved, but I couldn't actually feel anything."[4] Unhappy with the promotion of the album, Furler fired her manager, left Sony Music and signed with Go! Beat Records, a subsidiary of UMG.[11] At the APRA Awards of 2002, Furler won the 'Breakthrough Songwriter' category alongside Brisbane pop duo Aneiki's Jennifer Waite and Grant Wallis.[15][16]

Colour the Small One

In 2003, Sia Furler released an extended play, Don't Bring Me Down, its lead track was used over the closing titles of the French film, 36 Quai des Orfèvres. Her second album, Colour the Small One, was released in Australia on 19 January 2004 and in Europe later that year.[17] This downtempo album had Furler employ a mixture of acoustic instruments and electronic backing to her material, which led to comparisons to artists such as Dido and Sarah McLachlan.[17][18] It featured "The Bully", which was a collaboration with American musician Beck Hansen.[17] Two further songs were co-written with Beck and recorded, but have yet to be released. Colour the Small One spawned the singles "Breathe Me" and "Where I Belong". The latter was earmarked for the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack, its cover depicts Furler dressed in a Spider-Man costume.[19] However, owing to a record label conflict, it was withdrawn.[19] Six tracks on the album had been co-written with her bass guitarist, Samuel Dixon.[20]

In early 2005, Furler left Go! Beat Records, disappointed at the company's poor promotion of the album, and the failure of the label's US counterpart to pick up the record. She relocated to New York City. Meanwhile, "Breathe Me" appeared on the series finale of the US HBO television series Six Feet Under and the broadcast of the 2006 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. It was also used in an episode of the BBC show "Luther" (Season 1, Episode 5). The track had been licensed to Astralwerks – which also produces the Six Feet Under soundtracks – and Colour the Small One was given an American release by that label in early 2006.

Furler toured the US throughout that year, promoting the album and cross-promoting the Six Feet Under season five DVD release. The US version of the album features four bonus tracks: "Broken Biscuit" (from the Don't Bring Me Down EP), "Sea Shells" (the B-side to "Breathe Me" in the UK) and two remixes of "Breathe Me" by Four Tet and Ulrich Schnauss.
