Australian singer and songwriter Sia has been in the music business for nearly 20 years, starting with her debut album OnlySee in 1997 and continuing with a respected career as an indie and acid jazz artist through the 2000s. However, when David Guetta decided to take a chance on a song she wrote and kept her demo vocals in his final recording, Sia’s career changed forever. Since the release of “Titanium”, Sia has gone on to have a string of pop hits as both a singer and songwriter, including her recent #1 hit “Cheap Thrills”.
For the tenth episode of our music podcast This is Pop? , I was joined by The Young Folks staff writer Camille Espiritu to discuss Sia’s career as both a musician and a songwriter. Camille went to see Sia in concert in October 2016, and you can read her review of that show here.
