Biografía de Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette (born June 1, 1974) is a child actress turned alternative pop rock sensation, known for her candid and emotive delivery, Morissette was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Prior to making waves in the music industry, Morissette had appeared on the children’s television show “You Can’t Do That on Television”. Using money she had earned from the show the young talent recorded her first music demo entitled “Fate Stay With Me” in 1985, when the singer was 11. Three years later Morissette inked a publishing contract and in 1991, after signing with MCA Canada, released her debut album “Alanis”. Produced and co-written by Leslie Howe, the album became a hit in Canada, spawned the singles “Too Hot”, “Walk Away”, and “Feel Your Love”, and led to Morissette winning the Juno Award for Most Promising Female Vocalist.

Morissette’s sophomore album “Now Is the Time”, released in 1992, was a more thoughtful and candid album, and featured less pop production work than its predecessor. Despite being popular and producing three Top 40 singles “An Emotion Away”, “No Apologies” and “(Change Is) Never a Waste of Time”, the album was a comparative commercial failure and the singer was dropped from MCA Canada.

After graduating from high school, in liaison with her manager Scott Welsh, Morissette moved to Toronto, Canada, and began recording her third full-length in songwriter and producer Glen Ballard’s studio. By 1995 she had signed a deal with Maverick Records who issued “Jagged Little Pill” internationally in June 1995. The album’s lead single “You Oughta Know” soon got picked up by the relevant and influential Los Angeles, California radio station KROQ-FM, snowballing Morissette to success. The exposure led to heavy rotation on MTV and MuchMusic, and resulted in “Jagged Little Pill” reaching No. 1 in the U.S. Subsequent singles included “All I Really Want”, “Hand in My Pocket” and the instantly recognisable “Ironic”. The album went on to sell over 30 million copies worldwide, was certified 12 times platinum in Canada, and won the singer-songwriter six Juno Awards and four Grammy Awards in 1996.

After a successful tour in support of the album, and a six-week hiatus in India, the singer collaborated with Ringo Starr and Dave Matthews Band before returning to the studio to focus on her follow-up. Released in 1998, “Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie” earned the highest first-week sales by any female artist, however failed to live-up to the success of its predecessor. After contributing four tracks to the Jonathan Elias project “The Prayer Cycle” Morissette released the live acoustic album “Alanis Unplugged” and toured alongside Tori Amos.

Morissette’s fifth studio album “Under Rug Swept” once again topped the charts in Canada, this time however the singer wrote and produced the album on her own. Aided by the singles “Hands Clean”, “So Unsexy”, and “Precious Illusions”, the album went platinum in Canada and sold over a million copies in the States. After the live concert DVD “Feast on Scraps” in 2002 the singer went on to release her sixth full-length album “So-Called Chaos” issued in 2004, followed by the acoustic rework of her breakthrough album entitled “Jagged Little Pill Acoustic”. In 2008 Morissette released the album “Flavors of Entanglement” which documented the break-up of her relationship with Ryan Reynolds, followed by “Havoc and Bright Lights” in 2012.

I had an amazing time seeing Alanis Morissette live a couple years ago at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, California. She had a large crowd of over 2,000 people completely mesmerized for the whole set, and brought all of us through the whole gamut of emotions. Even though it is a pretty large venue, the layout has everybody pretty close to the stage so it still feels relatively intimate.

I had just gotten out of a long relationship, and so I was particularly fond of her older, angrier material (like "You Oughta Know" and "You Learn"). Still, just like how Alanis Morissette’s music mellowed out as she matured, I felt the emotional scars heal up a bit when her newer music played and gave me a new perspective on things – basically, I felt like she and I connected and she let me know that no matter how awful I was feeling, things would eventually get better.

There is a sort of unfiltered emotional honesty in Alanis Morissette’s music that you just usually don’t get in music, and its rarity makes it that much more special. I highly recommend that everybody go catch Alanis Morissette in concert when you get the chance.

I saw Wet Leg on October 1st, 2025 at the Fox Theater in Oakland. They put on an impressive, if not ear-shattering performance. This set was LOUD and I recommend if you see them that you bring ear protection. I enjoyed the music but the lyrics were a little difficult to make out over the extremely loud guitar and drums. I wasn't disappointed so much as surprised. If you have seen their videos or live sets you may get feel like the band is a subdued alternative rock band, but I am not exaggerating that this live set was the loudest of the last 16 concerts I have attended. I don't regret seeing them but I do think the live performance is more what you would expect from a Poppy set than what you take away from their music videos or other performances you see online. Just be prepared and you will enjoy yourself. The only other slightly disappointing part was the set was rather short, only 90 minutes and there was no encore. That said, it was a fair price for what you got. But as I have said before be prepared for a very, very LOUD experience. This was not the venue which I have attended many times before, but this particular bands choice of acoustics. I can only imagine what they would have sounded like in a concrete box like The Catalyst.

Shortly after reforming in 2009 Skunk Anansie, played the 2010 V Festival. During the 1990s the group had been at the forefront of the Britrock movement. In November 2009 they had released new singles, including 'Because of You' and Tear the Place Up' alongside their greatest hits. The following summer, Skunk Anansie returned to mainstream festival stage to showcase this collection.
The rock band opened with their new release, 'Because of You', which gave centre stage to Skin’s powerful, wailing vocals. The audience gave a tentative reception to the new single, but seemed fairly willing to give it chance.
By the time Skunk Anansie brought out their old hits, the crowd were thoroughly involved, not least because they had little choice. During 'Weak' Skin entered the sea of fans, being held up by willing participants throughout the song, and collapsing into the mass of people at the track’s end. Skin’s performance as front woman was not the only notable part of the act. I remember commenting to my companions in admiration of Cass’s bass playing during 'Hedonism'. We concluded that he was one cool guy.
Skunk Anansie demonstrated that they still know how to work the big stage, so are well worth a look, especially as they have since released two new albums, 'Wonderluste' and 'Black Traffic'.
