Many famous female singers have originated from Canada, like Joni Mitchell and k.d. lang. Sarah McLachlan is one of the latest success stories. Her sensual voice and natural elegance allow for each of her songs to be an escapade into a fantasy world. Her warmth and soft character make her one of the nicest performers in the business.
She was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia on January 28, 1968. She made her singing start at the young age of 4. Although her first instrument was the ukulele, she pursued her love for music by studying piano and guitar during her school years. She also took singing lessons on an ongoing basis.
At the tender age of 17, she was offered a record contract based on her performance in her first band called October Game. Nettwerk Productions wanted to take her in as a recording artist but Sarah's parents turned down the offer saying that there would be other opportunities and that she was better off attending art school. As planned, she studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Later, as destiny has its way of sneaking up on people, Nettwerk called again, and on October 2nd 1987, she signed a deal with the label.
Her debut album Touch in 1988, quickly attracted a wide audience of music lovers. Her college radio hit "Vox" aided in the success of her first album which achieved gold status in Canada. By the end of the year, Arista Records had her sign a deal in the United States. Her album was released in the US by 1989. The sales were not as good as expected with the public but critics liked this new pretty face of music.
Her second album Solace in 1991 was once again welcomed with open arms in Canada and became a huge success. Her two singles "Drawn to the Rhythm" and "Into the Fire" became instant hits. At the same time, the US started realizing that she had a lot of potential with this new album offering a more traditional sound with producer Pierre Marchand. |
