Alanis Morissette

     The energetic and talented new singer on the radio is not what you would call laid-back. She is in
no way a "here today, gone tomorrow" singer. I believe, she has and will revolutionize the entertianment
industry.

     The daughter of Alan and Georgia Morissette, Alanis, an Ottawa native, is one of three children in
the family. She has an older brother named Chad and a twin brother named Wade. Although the name
Alanis is Greek itself, Alanis Morissette has no Greek background whatsoever. As it turns out, Alan
Morissette wanted his daughter to have a female version of his name, but he wasn't particularly fond of the
name Alanna. One day, by chance, he spotted the name "Alanis" in a newspaper (Chaplin 21).

     Alanis loved dancing and acting when she was young and probably still does. She started learning
ballet and jazz dancing at the age of 7 (Chaplin 21). She has also done a lot of stage and theater work,
including a part on the highly popular kids' television show "You Can't Do That on Television" when she
was 11 (Chaplin 21). Alanis also appeared in the TV movie "Just One of the Girls" in 1993, which starred
Corey Haim (Trynin).

English or drama teacher if she hadn't been involved in show business (Willman 5).

     She has been writing songs for fun since 9. Alanis admired the music and character of Olivia
Newton John from "Grease" tremendously when she was young, which is the main reason why she was,
and is so interested in music. She also loved the writing style of George Michael. With the help of a friend
of the family who was in the music business, Alanis released her first ever single at the young age of
eleven. The song was called "Fate Stay With Me", and it was independently produced with money coming
out of her own pocket. The song was not a hit by any means, but it got some air-play on Canadian radio ...
