Australian vocalist Sia Furler, coming from the
acid-jazz and downbeat scenes, debuted with
OnlySee (Flavoured Records, 1997), mostly composed by Jesse Flavell,
and began to display her original persona on
Healing Is Difficult (Columbia Records, 2001), containing
Taken for Granted.
Her pop career took off in earnest with
Colour the Small One (Universal, 2004), that contains
Breathe Me,
Some People Have Real Problems (Hear/Monkey Puzzle Records, 2008)
and
We Are Born (Monkey Puzzle Records, 2010).
Sia had become a songwriter, although relying on the contributions of
friends such as Greg Kurstin and Sam Dixon, and her songs fit the generation
of Rihanna, Beyonce and Katy Perry (all three of which covered Sia songs).
She also cowrote songs for Britney Spears, David Guetta and Flo Rida.
1000 Forms of Fear (Monkey Puzzle Records, 2014)
consecrated her as one of the reigning voices of pop muzak.
After the terrible albums
This Is Acting (2016) and
Everyday Is Christmas (2017),
Sia directed her first film, Music (2021).

La vocalist australiana Sia Furler, proveniente dalle scene acid-jazz e downbeat, debutta con OnlySee (Flavoured Records, 1997), perlopiù composto da Jesse Flavell. Inizia a manifestare le sue doti personali in Healing Is Difficult (Columbia Records, 2001), contenente Taken for Granted.
La sua carriera pop decolla con Colour the Small One (Universal, 2004), contenente Breathe Me, Some People Have Real Problems (Hear/Monkey Puzzle Records, 2008) e We Are Born (Monkey Puzzle Records, 2010). Sia è diventata una cantautrice, benché grazie alle collaborazioni con Greg Kurstin and Sam Dixon, e le sue canzoni sono degne di quelle di Rihanna, Beyonce e Katy Perry (tutte e tre hanno realizzato cover di Sia). È stata anche coautrice di canzoni di Britney Spears, David Guetta e Flo Rida. 1000 Forms of Fear (Monkey Puzzle Records, 2014) l'ha consacrata come una tra le voci dominanti nella scena delle canzonette pop.
