Who is Alanis Morissette?
Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1st of 1974 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Alanis was raised in a Catholic family alongside two brothers by parents who were both teachers in a military school.
Because of her parents’ work, she was forced to move often. As a young girl, she lived in Germany for a period of three years.
At the age of six, Alanis settled in Ottawa and started to play the piano. Dance lessons soon followed, and Morissette quickly developed a passion for music.
Career
In the late 80s, Alanis recorded her first demo track, which was entitled “Fate Stay with Me.” In 1991, she released “Alanis,” her debut album. During this period, she created dance-pop music with tracks like “Too Hot,” “Walk Away,” and “Feel Your Love.”
She also opened for artists such as Vanilla Ice. “Alanis” eventually achieved platinum status, and this encouraged Morissette to release a second album called “Now Is the Time.” Both of these first albums were released in Canada only.
Unfortunately, Alanis’ second album proved to be a flop, and her record label contract de-materialized. With few options, Alanis moved to Toronto and started writing music. This resulted in the release of her first internationally-released album, “Jagged Little Pill.” During this period, she also learned how to play the guitar.
Although no record labels wanted to offer her a contract, “Jagged Little Pill” was unexpectedly successful when it was released in 1995. L.A-based radio stations started playing tracks like “You Oughta Know,” and Alanis gained exposure through MTV and MuchMusic.
Because of these factors, “Jagged Little Pill” ended up selling more than 16 million copies in the U.S. alone, with a further 17 million units sold globally. To date, “Jagged Little Pill” is one of the most commercially-successful albums ever released by a female artist.
Over the next period, Alanis toured and collaborated with a number of other artists. She also regularly sang both Canadian and American national anthems at sporting events. In 1998, she followed up with “Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie,” an album that received positive reviews while failing to make much of a commercial impact. An acoustic album entitled “Alanis Unplugged” followed, and she performed at Woodstock in 1999.
In 2001, Morrissette released her fifth studio album, “Under Rug Swept.” This album performed well in a commercial sense, with one million unit sales in the United States alone. In 2004, she released “So-Called Chaos,” a poorly-selling album which received mixed reviews.
After releasing a greatest hits album, Alanis released her seventh album, “Flavors of Entanglement” in 2008. Further albums followed throughout the next few years, and Morissette continued to collaborate and tour with other artists.
Although her latest albums left something to be desired, Alanis bounced back in 2019. After recording at a studio in Los Angeles, Morissette released “Such Pretty Forks in the Road,” her first studio album in eight years. Released in 2020 after coronavirus delays, the album received positive reviews while selling 23,000 units within its first week.
