Alanis Morissette Tickets

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.  Morissette has multiple talents including singing-songwriting, record producing and acting.  Alanis has had an extraordinary career winning 12 Juno Awards and 7 Grammy Awards.  She has sold over 55 million albums worldwide.  According to RIAA and United World Charts, Alanis is the biggest selling female rock artist in music.
   
Music was obviously in Morissette's genes and at the young age of six, she started playing the piano.  It was at that point in her life that Alanis realized that she wanted to express herself through the arts. 
   
At an audition in New York City, Alanis landed a spot on a popular American talent competition called Star Search for which she used the stage name Alanis Nadine.  Morissette flew to L.A, California to appear on the show, but lost after one round. She didn't give up and in 1988, Morissette signed a deal with MCA Publishing.  That was the ticket that she needed to help fund her singing career. 
   
Alanis was still a teenager at this time attending Immaculata High School and Glebe Collegiate Institute in Ottawa, Canada.  Morissette recorded two albums, Alanis and Now Is the Time.  Although her career was taking off and everything seemed positive from the outside, inside she was struggling with the pressures of her career.  From ages 14 - 18, Alanis Morissette suffered from anorexia and bulimia nervosa. 
   
In 1993 after graduating from High School, Morissette moved to Los Angeles to start her career.  Soon after that time she recorded her third album Jagged Little Pill and by the spring of 1995 she signed a deal with Maverick Records.  The album was an unexpected success and hit the top twenty of the Billboard 200 for more than one year.  Jagged Little Pill remains the highest selling debut album worldwide in music history selling 30 million records worldwide. 
   
Later in 1996, Morissette embarked on an eighteen-month world tour starting her performances in  small clubs and ending in large venues.
   
In 1998 Alanis Morissette released her fourth album, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie.  The hope was to sell one million copies on the initial release but instead in debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200.  The first week sales hit 469k copies, an all-time record at that time for a female artist.
   
Morissette released her fifth studio album, Under Rug Swept, in February 2002. Under Rug Swept debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, eventually going platinum in Canada and selling one million copies in the U.S. 
   
In May of 2004, Morissette released her sixth studio album, So-Called Chaos.  Although it got mixed reviews, the album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200.

2006 marked the first year in the recorded history of Morissette's musical career that she had not a single concert appearance.
   
Flavors of Entanglement, Morissette's seventh studio album, was released in mid 2008. Morissette is currently touring North America.  She also plans on promoting her album internationally by performing at shows and festivals as well as making television and radio appearances.
