And as fame has continued to grow, her attempts to avoid that Hollywood fame have done the same.
Known for her amazing voice and distinct look, Sia continues to impress and gift us with incredible music.
But what’s the story of the woman behind the hair?
So let’s take a look at the stunning transformation of Sia.
From her looks to her music, her expertise has shown through.
Her childhoodin Adelaide, Australiawas anything but normal.
She said, “Growing up he had two very unique personalities.
One was called Phil and one was called Stan… Phil was like the best dad ever…
He was fun but he was eloquent and he was present and interesting and interested.
When Stan came around stuff got scary.”
But Sia does not blame her issues in childhood on her parents.
I refrain from blaming anything on my parents.
What I do think is that I smoked too much pot when I was a kid.
I think it f****d my brain up."
And we all felt, O.K., this is going to work."
However, tragedy struck.
This was a moment that affected Sia deeply and began a trend of self-destruction for the singer.
It’s easy to get away with getting high, because everybody’s drinking on the road.
None of my friends thought I was an alcoholic, and neither did I."
It wasn’t until 2010 that Sia saw where her life was headed and began to make changes.
Although a difficult time, this ended up being a big moment for Sia’s music career.
This created entirely new opportunities for the singer.
From Rihanna to Beyonce and Celine Dion, this singer/songwriter has quite the impressive resume of tracks.
She continued on to describe the responsibility she feels when it comes to keeping these secrets.
“What if I let something slip if I was ever talking to anyone?
This stuff would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to the gossip magazines.
As the 39-year-old described toRolling Stonein 2015, “For me, ‘Titanium’ is very cheesy.
And ‘Wild Ones’ is definitely 100 percent cheese.
It was quite confronting to start writing in that way.
But she was able to see the benefit of these songs, among others she has written.
I don’t know.”
Sia had not planned to perform anymore, but she couldn’t stop thinking about the music.
I love it too much.'”
The girl behind the bob
In recent years, Sia is most known for her hidden look.
While she continues to write songs for other performers, she is also performing again.
With hits like “Chandelier” and “Cheap Thrills” Sia has become unstoppable.
Sia’s solution for this was to remove her face from that spotlight.
Her thought process went deeper than this.
The look also was something new for the music industry, which Sia recognized.
I was an alcoholic and a drug addict.
I thought, ‘What doesn’t exist in pop music at the moment?’
And it was mystery."
It reached a point wheremany people didn’t knowwhat Sia’s face looked like.
She spokewithThe Guardianabout her personal reason for the distinct look, and her reasoning is anything but superficial.
She said, “It was about not having to deal with the unfairness of being a pop star.
Not having to worry about camera angles catching your double chin.
Everybody in the entertainment industry is insecure.
It’s exhausting.”
I was excited because I got invited to these big, fancy parties.
I’m going to need to have my roots done.
I’m going to have extensions, probably.
I’m going to get a stylist for sure.
I’m going to have to work out five times that week with Jennifer Aniston’s trainer.'"
Fellow star Lena Dunham shares similar sentiments.
What does the future hold for Sia?
And as she sharedwithInterview Magazine, not all of those projects will be for songwriting.
In fact, she’s currently writing a screenplay.
She said, “I wrote a short story eight years ago.
It’s calledSister, and I’m going to direct it.
I just want to make a beautiful film.
I’ve had it in my head for so long, so I want to try.
Every now and again I get scared.
And that’s not really how I operate in songwriting or as Sia the artist, the singer.
I don’t operate from a place of fear.
But this is such a new area for me.
I still have some insecurity.”
