Alanis Morissette is a wonderful Ottawa born Canadian import (her mother a teacher, her father a principal) who crashed onto the music scene in the early 90s. What’s up with Catholic girls as Alanis tried to fit in growing up but was destined for greatness. Here are a few cool things about Alanis you might not have known…
Alanis was born a twin, a brother named Wade who has been practicing and teaching yoga for years. He and his sister remain close to this day.
At the tender age of 10, she recorded her first tune was entitled”Fate Stay With Me.” Alanis was a prolific writer and studio junkie, spending much of her teen years inside recording studios.
Alanis married Mario “Souleye” Treadway in 2010, but was once engaged to heart throb actor Ryan Reynolds.
It’s not unusual for mega-groups to have opened for lesser known acts in their early days. Jimi Hendrix spent time once opening for The Monkees. Alanis once did a tour opening up for Vanilla Ice.
