早年经历

Sia Kate Isobelle Furler,1975年12月18日出生于澳大利亚阿德莱德。父母都是音乐工作者。良好的家庭文化环境为她的音乐之路奠定了基础。同时,模仿其他的歌手在Sia的成长之路中也是很重要的一点。

在1989,Sia14岁,她去意大利求学并没有把这笔钱拿去矫正她著名的小龅牙,对此表示,自己并没有后悔保持她的龅牙。

Sia的才能是她在意大利求学的间隔年里,在一个酒吧驻唱的时候被发现的。正因为她独特的歌喉,Sia在酒吧和当地的一个DJ合作并有了录制一首歌的机会。

“在我十七岁的时候,我曾写过关于种族主义和恐同现象的作品;当时我收到一些信息,产生了想改变世界的想法,于是我便回到了阿德莱德的大学,并学习了一年意大利语和政治学后便辍学了。”

在90年代初,Sia在阿德莱德开始了acidjazz的演出。并在她17岁时加入了一个Jazz-funk乐队,Crisp,并担任了主唱。在发行了两张专辑(《WordandtheDeal》(1996)和、《Delerium》(1997))后的1997年,Sia离开了乐队并以Trip-hop歌手的身份推出了她的首张个人专辑《OnlySee》——诞生于她在阿德莱德的车库并卖出了1200份,还有1000份仅在阿德莱德当地卖出。

Sia和她的男友Dan在他们的环球旅行时,Dan在伦敦的一次交通意外中丧生。男友的去世,把Sia的生命弄得一团糟,脑海里的感觉搅成一块。她用了很长的一段时间疗伤。她曾回忆道:“我的一切都被摧毁,整天与酒精和毒品为伴。不幸的是,那段时光一直持续了6年。”终于,慢慢地,Sia从阴影中走了出来,也开始重新思考往后的音乐路向。

2000年,Sia与SonyMusic旗下的DancePool签约,在伦敦的时候曾与一个Jazz-funk乐队Jamiroquai合作。

2001年7月9日,Sia推出了她的第二张个人专辑《Healing Is Difficult》,专辑中的《Drinkto Get Drunk》和《Little Man》在当时英国的夜店中走红。其中采样了俄国作曲家普罗科菲耶夫芭蕾舞剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》音乐片段的单曲《Taken For Granted》还在一周内打入了UK Singles Chart排行榜前十位。

在并不愉快的专辑推广过后,Sia炒掉了她的经纪人并解除了与SonyMusic的合约并改签了环球唱片旗下的Go!BeatRecords。

2002年Sia获得了APRA音乐奖(APRA Awards of 2002)的最佳突破歌手。

2003年,Sia的作品《Don't Bring Me Down》被用作法国电影《36 Quai des Orfèvres》(中文译名《36总局》)的片尾曲。

2004年1月19日,Sia发布了专辑《Colour the Small One》,当时也常常被拿来与Dido和Sarah McLachlan做比较。在这张专辑中,Sia与美国音乐人Beck Hansen有所合作;其中《Where I Belong》同时被收入电影:《蜘蛛侠Ⅱ》的原声带中。

2005年初,由于对唱片公司销售策划的失望,Sia离开了Go!BeatRecords,并搬迁到了纽约。在此期间,《Breath Me》被用在HBO的系列剧《六英尺下》(《Six Feet Under》)以及2006年“维多利亚的秘密内衣秀”、BBC英剧《路德》(《Luther》)第一季第五集等处。

2007年4月3日,Sia推出了一张Live专辑《Lady Croissant》。其中收录了八首在2006年四月于纽约的Bowery Ballroom演出的live单曲,同时还包含了一首录音棚单曲《Pictures》。来自Allmusic的Marissa Brown评价道:“现场的录制效果非常好,乐队的配合很默契,Sia声音的表现既丰富又激情。”同年11月,《Day Too Soon》EP在iTunes上发布。

《The Girl You Lost to Cocaine》、《Day Too Soon》则获得Billboard的Dance Music Club Play Singles Charts中的第八名和第二十四名。

2008年1月,Sia推出了个人第四张专辑《Some People Have Real Problem》,并进入了Billboard 200的前30。专辑推出后,Sia相对于以往频繁地在电视媒体上露面,为专辑做宣传。而现场表演中Sia与乐队的磷光妆扮"Glow-in-the-dark"更是夺人眼球,巧妙地与专辑的设计风格相呼应。

2009年五月,Sia推出DVD《TV Is My Parent》,收录了2007年9月12日在纽约Hiro Ballroom的现场表演,并在ARIA Music Awards of 2009获得了Best Music DVD,同时,专辑《Some People Have Real Problem》也获得了Best Breakthrough Artist Album的提名。同年Sia与Christina Aguilera以及她的经纪人合作并为她写歌,两人还一同参加了美版好声音The Voice,Christina担当导师,Sia客串助教角色。于2010年6月18日Sia推出了个人第五张专辑《We Are Born》,专辑收录了09-10年巡演的一些歌。《I'm in Here (piano vocal version)》 被收录于绯闻女孩、九命少女、尼基塔、菜鸟警察(加)等美剧。专辑内多首歌都被提名当年的ARIA Music Awards,并部分获奖。

2010年6月在新专辑发布后,Sia却因患上毒性弥漫性甲状腺肿(也称Graves病)而取消了接下来的巡演计划,并开始了休息与治疗。并于次年1月继续在新西兰和澳大利亚巡演。

2011年与Flo Rida和David Guetta合作的《Wild Ones》、《Titanium》迅速传播开来,再次展现了Sia音乐的多面性。

2012年3月30日,Sia回顾之前的音乐道路,推出了精选集《Best Of...》,紧接着便出现在了各大排行榜。

2013年单曲《Kill And Run》被收入电影《了不起的盖茨比》原声带,出现在了电影结尾字幕最后。

2014年7月Sia推出了个人第六张专辑《1000 Forms of Fear》,专辑首单《Chandelier》提前于2014年3月17日发布。紧接着Sia开展了一系列的表演与宣传。而这次在专辑发布前的几次表演却一直没有露脸,并随处可见其招牌铂色短发的元素。

2015年单曲《Salted Wound》被收入电影《五十度灰》原声带,作为背景音乐出现在影片中。

2015年九月,Sia发行全新单曲Alive活着,迅速登上iTunes热度榜top10热单之列,乐评人纷纷对Sia的奇特嗓音交口称赞。根据SiaFurler汉化组的爆料,Alive本来是Sia送给Adele的礼物,可是Adele不识货,于是Sia就说我能不能拿回去。最终Sia”以阿黛尔的角度“创造了这首热单,两方歌迷为她们之间的友谊挥手喝彩。

新专辑《This Is Acting》将在2016年1月29日发行。Sia已经打算导演自己创作的影片《Sister》并请Maddie Ziegler作女主角。同时,配偶埃里克·安德尔斯·兰也将制作一部有关于Sia的纪录片。

Sia亦将在2016年8月展开全球多地的巡演。

Zero 7

加入Zero 7,才让Sia被更多人所熟知。

Sia于2001年加入英伦Trip-hop新贵乐队Zero 7。Sia在Zero 7的专辑中的声音听起来有点慵懒,散漫着淡淡的爵士味道,由她献声演绎的《Destiny》和《Distractions》两首曲目成为了专辑《Simple Things》的两大亮点。甚至还有乐评将她形容为“你不能错过的年度最酷的Down-Tempo人声”。

与Zero 7的合作不仅为Sia带来音乐生涯上的一个重要转折,也对她的音乐重新定位产生了重大影响。Sia回忆道:“在我随着Zero 7巡回演出的旅途上,Zero 7的成员们经常向我谈及很多我从来没有听过的歌手,例如James Taylor、Nick Drake、Harry Nilsson、Randy Newman和Django Bates等等,我发现自己在聆听音乐上的贫乏,于是我买了一部discman开始听这些歌手的作品,这些音乐产生的巨大力量像飓风一样顿时把我吹得晕头转向。”显然,音乐上增加的阅历让Sia确定了她日后的音乐走向。她发现自己最喜爱的还是清新民谣的乐风,所以她在个人的第二张专辑《Colour The Small One》里决定回归自己在音乐上的本质重拾自己最喜爱也是最适合她的清新、柔缓民谣曲风,不过她也在一般的清新民谣风格中加入了属于她个人的音乐色彩,一种散发着淡淡忧郁气息的魔力,并将此刻划成带有她个人私密情感印记的音乐标签。

2015年发行EP单曲“Bird Set Free”。

2016年1月发行录音室专辑《This Is Acting》,2月发行EP单曲“Cheap Thrills”,4月发行EP单曲“Cheap Thrills”Remixes版本。5月发行电影《海底总动员2》主题曲“Unforgettable”。
