About
Sia Kate Isobelle Furler ( SEE-ə; born 18 December 1975) is an Australian singer and songwriter. Born and raised in Adelaide, she started her career as a singer in the acid jazz band Crisp in the mid-1990s. When Crisp disbanded in 1997, she released her debut studio album, OnlySee, in Australia. Sia moved to London and provided vocals for the English duo Zero 7. She released her second studio album, Healing Is Difficult, in 2001 and her third, Colour the Small One, in 2004.
Sia moved to New York City in 2005 and toured the US. Her fourth and fifth studio albums, Some People Have Real Problems and We Are Born, were released in 2008 and 2010 respectively, and both were certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association and attracted wider notice than her earlier albums. Uncomfortable with her growing fame, she took a hiatus from performing and focused on songwriting for other artists, producing successful collaborations "Titanium" (with David Guetta), "Diamonds" (for Rihanna), "Wild Ones" (with Flo Rida) and "Pretty Hurts" (for Beyoncé).
Sia's sixth studio album, 1000 Forms of Fear, debuted atop the US Billboard 200, generating the top-ten single "Chandelier" and a trilogy of music videos she co-directed, starring child dancer Maddie Ziegler. Her seventh album, This Is Acting (2016), spawned the Billboard Hot 100 number-one single, "Cheap Thrills". In 2016, she also began her Nostalgic for the Present Tour, which incorporated dancing by Ziegler and others, and other performance art elements. After releasing the Christmas album Everyday Is Christmas (2017), Sia, Diplo and Labrinth released a collaborative studio album, LSD (2019). Her tenth album, Reasonable Woman, was released in 2024.
Sia is an advocate for animal rights. She has written many songs for films. Alongside her feature film directorial debut, Music (2021), which received a negative reception, she wrote and produced an album Music – Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture. Since the release of 1000 Forms of Fear, in public she has usually worn a wig that obscures her face to protect her privacy. Among her accolades are ten ARIA Awards, an MTV Video Music Award, and nine Grammy Award nominations.

Sia, mononyme de Sia Furler (prononcé en anglais : [ˈsiːə ˈfɜːlə]), née le 18 décembre 1975 à Adélaïde, en Australie-Méridionale, est une auteure-compositrice-interprète, réalisatrice, scénariste et productrice australienne. Elle débute au sein du groupe australien Crisp durant les années 1990 et contribue à trois albums du groupe britannique Zero 7. Depuis 2000, elle mène une carrière solo et collabore avec d'autres artistes.
En 2000, Sia signe au label Dance Pool, dirigé par Sony Music, et publie son deuxième album, Healing Is Difficult l'année suivante. Insatisfaite de la campagne publicitaire menée pour l'album, elle signe avec Go! Beat Records et publie son troisième album, Colour the Small One, en 2004. L'album ayant du mal à tisser un lien avec le grand public, Sia se délocalise à New York en 2005 et commence quelques tournées américaines. Elle publie ses quatrième et cinquième albums, Some People Have Real Problems et We Are Born, en 2008 et 2010 respectivement. Elle s'écarte des tournées et décide de composer avec d'autres artistes. Elle participe à un bon nombre de singles à succès comme Titanium avec David Guetta, Diamonds pour Rihanna et Wild Ones avec Flo Rida.
En 2014, Sia publie son sixième album, 1000 Forms of Fear, grâce auquel elle débute première du Billboard 200. L'album se vend par millions. Sa chanson Chandelier connait un immense succès international. Dès lors, elle a régulièrement mis une perruque qui cache son visage pour protéger sa vie privée. En 2016, elle publie son septième album, This Is Acting, qui comprend le single Cheap Thrills. La même année, elle effectue la tournée Nostalgic for the Present Tour. Elle est récompensée aux ARIA Awards et d'un MTV Video Music Award. Sia revisite également les chants traditionnels de Noël dans son huitième album, Everyday Is Christmas, paru en 2017. Depuis 2018, elle fait partie du trio LSD.
