Alanis Morissette was born and raised in Ottawa, the daughter of schoolteachers. She began playing piano at the age of six, wrote her first song when she was 10 and was a regular on the kids show "You Can't Do That On Television". A couple of years later, Alanis signed her first record deal and became known as "The Debbie Gibson of Canada". Fortunately, "dance-pop" wasn't what Alanis was striving for. She packed her bags, moved to L.A. and met a producer named Glen Ballard. The pair wrote and recorded an album which would make music history. "Jagged Little Pill" became the best-selling international debut album by a female artist and is considered the 10th best selling album of all time! To date, it has sold an astounding 30-million albums and earned her both Juno and Grammy awards. A couple years later, Alanis released her followup album, "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" and started acting again, taking on the role of "God" in the Kevin Smith movie "Dogma". Since then, Alanis has released another three studio albums, hosted the 2004 Juno Awards and in 2007, she was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame Her new album is called "Flavors of Entanglement".
