 Shania Twain

Shania Twain was born as Eilleen Regina Edwards in 1965, the middle of three daughters. She started out singing in bars as a child after hours. She spent several years in local bands and on the showgirl/crooner circuit. In 1991 she changed her name to Shania and signed a contract with Mercury Nashville that same year. Her first album went by without notice, but her second album (produced with Mutt Lange, who she wed in 1993) broke world sales records. In 1998 her crossover album "Come on Over" was a huge success and Shania became a megastar in both country and pop. Trivia: the name "Shania" means "I'm on my way" in Ojibwa.
