Adelaide, Australia (2000 – present)
Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, to use the name her musician parents gave her, already has a staggering track record. If her name itself - pronounced ‘See-ah’ - isn’t familiar to millions, her voice undoubtedly is.
In 2000, the Adelaide born singer scored a bolt from the blue Top 10 hit with her debut single,
Taken for Granted. Pairing her unique Australian drawl with the strident strings from Sergei Prokofiev’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’, the track was championed by Trevor Nelson and had Sia performing live on Jo Whiley’s Radio 1 show. Her debut album, Healing Is Difficult, arrived to similar cries of ´the next big R&B thing’. Then, to cap it all, she added her jazzy slurs to two tracks on Zero 7’s Simple Things album and became the unmistakable voice of the year’s coolest down-tempo soundtrack. All the pieces for a phenomenal career seemed to be in place.
And then nothing.
“I went a bit mental after that,” she explains, before letting out a laugh that would stop traffic. “No seriously, I needed therapy and everything.” She recovers her composure only long enough to explain that going from hero to zero left her confused and frustrated and that it was a really enjoyable time, those moments of feeling like a ‘Coolio’! But sadly they’ve passed now.
Brandishing both wicked humour and brutal honesty, it’s sometimes hard to know exactly when Sia’s joking. What is certain is that, with fragile beauty, a collaboration with Beck, and swathes of sensual soul-searching, ‘Healing Is Difficult’s long overdue follow-up, ‘Colour The Small One, rekindles thoughts of an all conquering phenomenon and will surely make her a ‘coolio’ once again.
