S. Furler

Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, already has a staggering track record. If her name itself - pronounced See-ah - isn’t familiar to millions, her voice undoubtedly is.

In 2000, the Adelaide born singer scored a bolt from the blue Top 10 hit with her debut single, ‘Taken For Granted’. Pairing her unique Australian drawl with the strident strings from Prokofiev’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’, the track was championed by Trevor Nelson and had Sia performing live on Jo Whiley’s Radio 1 show. Her debut album, ‘Healing Is Difficult’, arrived to similar cries of ‘the next big R&B thing’. Then, to cap it all, she added her jazzy slurs to two tracks on Zero 7’s ‘Simple Things’ album and became the unmistakable voice of the year’s coolest down-tempo soundtrack. All the pieces for a phenomenal career seemed to be in place.
