Fiona Apple, Alanis Morissette was one of the most
successful singer/songwriters to ride in on the
second wave of grrrl rock in the mid-'90s. Born on
June 1, 1974, Alanis Nadine Morissette and her two
brothers were raised in Ottawa, Canada by French-Canadian
and Hungarian parents. By the age of 10, the

and recorded her first single, "Fate Stay With Me."
She spent most of her pre-pubescent years performing
throughout Canada, singing "O Canada" at sporting
events and even making the de rigueur appearance on
"Star Search.".
