Shania Twain

 Shania Twain was born as Eilleen Regina Edwards in 1965 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada She was one of three daughters of Clarence and Sharon (Morrison) Edwards (sister Jill is two years older, and Carrie-Ann is three years younger). The mother of her child divorced Jerry Twain (an Ojibwa Ojibwa from Timmins, Ontario) when she was just six years old. He took her in as his own. She began her singing career in bars as a child at night, and at thirteen, appeared on The Tommy Hunter Show (1965). When she was 22, her parents died in an accident. She became the legal guardian of her half-brothers Mark 13, 13 and Darryl who was 14, and carried her career in music with her to care for her family. She changed her name from Shania to Shania in 1991 (meaning "I'm On My Way" in Ojibwa It was the name of a coworker) and signed a Mercury Nashville contract that year. The first album was released without notice, however her second album (produced with (Mutt) Mutt Lange, who she married in 1993) broke world records in sales!
