All about the best singer ever, Sia!

Her full name is Sia Furler and she grew up in Australia with her mum Loene and her dad Phil.

Her birthday is 18th December 1975.

Starting from her successful single Chandelier she decided she didn’t like the idea of fame and she wanted people to judge her singing instead of the way she looked.

She used the amazing Maddie Ziegler from the American show Dance Moms. Sia was first seen in her song Chandelier, then Elastic heart, then Big Girls Cry. Because she was so amazing Sia became more and more popular and now Sia and Maddie are so close as friends you would think they are sisters!

In some of her videos she was seen wearing a big, oversized wig covering her whole face and dressed in black wearing a brown paper bag over her head!

Sia hasn’t always lived a happy successful life as she used to be on drugs and she once even wrote a suicide note! Luckily she has been off drugs for over five years - well done Sia! She is a great role model because she has shown that she has had a tough life and made bad decisions but she has changed her life and now living a happy and successful life with her husband.
