Shania Twain was born in Windsor, Ontario, and raised in the small, rural town of Timmins, Ontario. As a child, she learned to play guitar at an early age and would spend much of her time singing, writing, and playing. Early on in her musical development, her parents pushed her on stage, making her perform frequently around their little town; often, she would be pulled out of bed around one in the morning to sing at local bars, since as a child she could only appear in the clubs after they had stopped serving alcohol. When she was 21 years old, both of her parents died in a car crash, forcing her to take responsibility for her four younger brothers. In order to pay the bills and keep food on the table, she took a job singing at a resort in Deerhurst. With the money she earned at the resort, she bought a house and had the family settle down. After her siblings were old enough Twain pursued a successful pop/country career and is one of the most popular Canadian singers. One of my all time favorite songs by Shania is "Man I Feel Like A Woman", if you would like to read the lyrics to Shania's song please click here.
