Biography:

Si, also known as Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, is an Australian singer and songwriter born in Adelaide, Australia in 1975. She started her career as a singer in the acid jazz band Crisp in the mid-1990s. After the band's disbandment, she released her debut studio album 'OnlySee' in Australia. Si later moved to London and provided vocals for the British duo Zero 7. She released her second studio album 'Healing Is Difficult' in 2001 and her third, 'Colour the Small One', in 2004. Si moved to New York City in 2005 and toured the United States. 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. Uncomfortable with her growing fame, she took a hiatus from performing and focused on songwriting for other artists, producing successful collaborations with artists such as David Guetta, Rihanna, and Flo Rida. In 2014, Si broke through as a solo recording artist with her sixth studio album, '1000 Forms of Fear', which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200. She has since released several more successful albums and has been praised for her powerful vocals and emotive songwriting.
