Browse piano sheets by Sia on Zen Virtual Piano. Sia is a singer and songwriter from Adelaide, South Australia, where she was born Sia Kate Isobelle Furler on 18 December 1975. Her mother, Loene Furler, works as an art lecturer, and her father, Phil Colson, plays guitar. Asked in an NPR interview to give her name and title, Sia described herself as a singer, a songwriter and a "big dog lover." Her father's guitar playing and her own work as a singer may point to music running through more than one generation of the family. At age 12 Sia stayed for a month with the family friend Colin Hay in New York City, and Hay attended the Grammy Awards during that visit. She cites watching the ceremony from his limousine as inspiration to pursue a music career. Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Sting were performers whose style Sia imitated as a child. She names them, together with Hay, among her early influences. The Grammy ceremony she watched from Hay's limousine, beside the style of Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Sting that she imitated as a child, may suggest that her early inspiration came from watching as well as listening. In the mid-1990s Sia began a career as a singer with Crisp, a local acid jazz band. She contributed vocals to the band's album Word and the Deal (1996) and its EP Delirium (1997). Sia hired Jonathan Daniel, who suggested that she write songs for other artists. Sia did not write "Titanium" for herself, and she thought someone else was going to sing it. Her vocals with Crisp and the songs she wrote for other artists, including "Titanium," may point to a career that covers both performing and writing. NPR reported that Sia and her collaborator Greg Kurstin had been writing together for 12 years. Sia does not read music, and she says she can barely crank out a chord or two on the piano. Kurstin often starts playing, and Sia scats until words take shape. If her vocals with Crisp are set beside the fact that she does not read music, her voice may be central to how she takes part in music. "Snowman" was written by Sia and Greg Kurstin and released on 9 November 2017 as the second single from her eighth studio album, Everyday Is Christmas. The song is in the key of D flat major, and Sia's vocals span one octave and a semitone, from F3 to G flat 4. Sia's tenth studio album, Reasonable Woman, was released on 3 May 2024. Her accolades include ten ARIA Awards, an MTV Video Music Award and nine Grammy Award nominations. Her vocals on Word and the Deal and her writing of "Snowman" with Greg Kurstin both sit in her story, one inside a band and one inside a writing partnership.
