Flashback Artist of the Month for February 2025

Bio

Alanis Morisette is a Canadian-American singer-songwriter who began her career in the early 1990s. Her prolific career earned her 80 nominations and 38 awards. Morissette gained her success after releasing her album “Jagged Little Pill” in 1995, which sold over 33 million copies worldwide. 

Morissette wrote her first song at 9 years old. A year later, she acted in “You Can’t Do That on Television” on Nickelodeon. At just 14 years old, Morisette signed a song-publishing deal and released two albums, “Alanis” (1991) and “Now Is the Time” (1992), which sold over 150,000 copies. At 20 years old, Morissette released the album “Jagged Little Pill,” which she considered her ‘real’ debut, and signed with Madonna’s record label Maverick.

While music was her main focus, Morissette still acted occasionally. In 1993, she made her movie debut with her role in the comedy “Anything for Love.” In 1999, she later portrayed God in “Kevin Smith’s Dogma.” 

Morissette’s music career is far from over. The artist continues to perform concerts and festivals, including her upcoming show at Lollapalooza Argentina in Buenos Aires. Her reign and music legacy will last for decades.
