Quirky sound, powerful lyrics, and a style all her own. Sia, born Sia Kate Isobelle Furler in Adelaide, Australia, has been delightfully surprising auidences since 2000 with her album Healing is Difficult. Before that, she was the melodic voice behind the band Zero 7 and their most notable single "Destiny". Since then, Sia's other two solo works included 2003's Colour the Small One, and her most recent in 2008, Some People Have Real Problems. Her chart topping single "Breathe Me" was featured on the series finale of HBO's Six Feet Under. Sia also provided the vocals for the cover of the Bee Gee's "How Deep is Your Love", which appeared on the soundtrack for the Sex and the City motion picture. Her current work includes collaborating with Christina Aguilera for Aguilera's new album Light & Darkness. Sia posted this on her blog regarding the collaboration: ‘‘We've written some really wonderful songs. I would put any of the songs we've written on one of my albums. And it's a total collaboration. There are some artists who walk in and say ‘I want to write a song about a stiletto', then walk out again. You write the song and they take a third. That's not at all what it's been like working with Christina. Often she saves the day when we're stuck." In 2008 Sia addressed rumors of her bisexuality on AfterEllen.com saying, "I've always been open about it. People are making a fuss of it now because I'm getting successful." Sia is listed on the Advocate's "Forty under 40"'s list of openly gay entertainers. A force to be reckoned with, I am sure we will be hearing much more of Sia in the future.
