Sia Furler虽然在澳大利亚长大，但她在搬到英国后声名鹊起，在英国她曾担任多个组合的客串歌手，包括电子乐二人组Zero 7，并发行了自己的个人专辑。她出生于1975年，90年代作为Crisp乐队的主唱首次在阿德莱德爵士巡回演出。1997年，她试图单飞，但没有成功，这位金发碧眼的澳洲人最终跳上了飞往伦敦的飞机。在那里，她为jamiroquai找到了一份伴唱演出的机会，并与索尼的子厂牌DancePool签下了一份个人合同。Sia在2000年初发布了她的第一首单曲《Taken for Granted》。尽管这首歌在澳大利亚的排行榜上只排到了第100名，但在英国却升至第10名，并增加了欧洲对她2001年发行的首张专辑《Hearing Is Difficult》的需求。与此同时，英国音乐界的一系列大牌开始向希雅求情;Zero 7和William Orbit的报价接踵而至。虽然有些项目只要求希雅唱一首歌，但事实证明，她与Zero 7的联系是反复出现的。她最终在Zero 7乐队出了三张专辑，作为乐队的主打歌手，同时也发行了个人专辑《color the Small One》和《Some People Have Real Problems》，进一步发展了自己的事业。 Meanwhile, Sia also began building an audience in America. One of the songs from Colour the Small One, "Breathe Me," gained attention when it was used in the elaborate final scene of the Six Feet Under series, and the resulting buzz allowed her to enjoy a successful stateside tour. That tour was documented on her first live release, Lady Croissant, in 2007. By the following year, Sia's American audience had increased to the point that Some People Have Real Problems, her third album, debuted at number 26. Zero 7 began working on another album in 2009, but Sia had already shifted most of her attention to furthering her own career, and the band hired another singer in her place. Working alongside bassist Sam Dixon, she boosted her songwriting cred by writing several songs for Christina Aguilera, who put the songs onto her 2010 release Bionic. Sia also continued writing songs for herself, and We Are Born marked her most upbeat album to date in 2010.
