Alanis Morissette Biography

Alanis Morissette is a Canadian-American singer, songwriter, and actress, widely recognized for her deeply emotional music, which often explores themes of personal growth, relationships, and mental health. She rose to international fame in the mid-1990s and became one of the most influential artists of her era, often referred to as the "Queen of Alt-Rock Angst."

Morissette has been open about her struggles with mental health, eating disorders, and postpartum depression, becoming an advocate for emotional well-being and mindfulness. She is a practicing meditator and an advocate for environmental and human rights causes.

Morissette’s third studio album, “Jagged Little Pill,” was a radical shift from her earlier work and marked her transition to alternative rock. Released in 1995, the album became an instant phenomenon, with raw, emotional tracks addressing heartbreak, anger, and self-discovery.

The lead single, "You Oughta Know," became an anthem of female rage, while other songs like "Ironic," "Hand in My Pocket," and "You Learn" solidified her as a voice for a generation. “Jagged Little Pill” won five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, and has sold over 33 million copies worldwide.

Following the massive success of “Jagged Little Pill,” Morissette released several more albums, including:
“Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie” (1998) – An introspective album exploring spirituality and personal struggles.
“Under Rug Swept” (2002) – Featuring hits like "Hands Clean," it marked her first time as the sole producer of an album.
“So-Called Chaos” (2004) – A lighter, more experimental album with themes of love and serenity.

Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, Morissette continued to release music and explore new genres. Her albums like “Flavors of Entanglement” (2008) and “Havoc and Bright Lights” (2012) reflect her evolving sound and personal growth.

Alanis has also dabbled in acting, with notable appearances on TV shows like “Sex and the City,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and as God in the film “Dogma.” Her music was adapted into the critically acclaimed musical “Jagged Little Pill,” which premiered on Broadway in 2019 and earned multiple Tony nominations.

Alanis Morissette remains an enduring figure in the music world. She celebrated the 25th anniversary of “Jagged Little Pill” with a world tour in 2021 and released a new album, “Such Pretty Forks in the Road” (2020). Her podcast, “Conversation with Alanis Morissette,” explored topics like philosophy, psychology, and music.

Born in Ottawa, Canada, Morissette showed an early interest in music and began playing piano at age 6. By the time she was a teenager, she appeared on the children's television show “You Can't Do That on Television.” In 1991, Morissette released her first dance-pop album, “Alanis,” followed by “Now Is the Time” in 1992. Both albums were moderately successful in Canada but failed to make a global impact.
