LOS ANGELES (Sia Official Website) - Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, to use the name her musician parents gave her, already has a staggering track record. If her name itself-pronounced 'See-ah' - isn't familiar to millions, her voice undoubtedly is.
Sia's song 'Breathe Me' was featured in the unforgettable final scene of the Six Feet Under series finale, and on the GRAMMY nominated Six Feet Under: Everything Ends, Music from the HBO Original Series – Vol. 2 soundtrack. Sales of which surged literally overnight following the airing of the episode, with fans trying to get hold of the hauntingly beautiful track.
Her new album Colour The Small One was released last month to huge critical acclaim and brisk sales each week since its release. Interestingly, digital sales of the album account for 17% of the total album sales, far surpassing the industry average of 5%. With VH1 adding the 'Breathe Me' video to their playlist and modern rock radio heating up, expect big things from the Australian born singer this year.
