Sia

Browse piano sheets by Sia on Zen Virtual Piano. Sia is a singer and songwriter whose career moves between her own recordings and songs written for other performers. Her early work included acid jazz in the 1990s, followed by vocals for Jamiroquai and performances with Zero 7. She moved from Adelaide to England in the late 1990s, before building a parallel career behind the scenes of pop music. A songwriting job for Christina Aguilera in 2009 opened that path further. Her work for other voices included Rihanna’s Diamonds, Britney Spears’s Perfume and Beyoncé’s Pretty Hurts. This Is Acting brought songs originally written for other performers into her own album. Sia describes her strength partly as choosing producer tracks with an anthemic or uplifting chorus, then adding lyrics and melody. With Greg Kurstin, she works especially quickly. They co-wrote Snowman for the all-original Everyday Is Christmas. Sia described the holiday project as a response to a shortage of appealing new Christmas songs, and said its familiar seasonal ideas made the writing feel natural and fun.
