Source discrepancy: Astro-Databank and Astrotheme both record 09:51 (rating A). Astro-Databank's source notes say a biography is unclear on whether Morissette or her twin brother Wade was born first (09:39 or 09:51), and quote her saying her brother is 12 minutes older.

Biography

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. She is a Canadian and American singer-songwriter and music producer, regarded as a leading figure of women's rock whose lyrics often reflect on feminism and patriarchal society, and is known as the "Queen of Alt-Rock Angst".

She began her career in Canada as a child performer and released two solo albums there as a teenager; after moving to Los Angeles in 1994 she turned to writing rock music. Her first internationally released album, Jagged Little Pill (1995), made her name: its lead single "You Oughta Know" helped drive a new wave of women's rock, and the album sold more than 33 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling records of all time. At 21 she became the youngest winner of the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. She has won seven Grammy Awards to date.
