Dikutip Blog Berita dari Shania Forums: Shania Twain, whose second album, The Woman in Me, became the all-time best-selling recording by a female country artist, with more than 13 million copies sold worldwide, has been called ‘the Cinderella of country music.’ When she was in her early 20s and just starting out as a professional singer, both of her parents died in a car accident. Feeling a sense of responsibility toward her three younger siblings, she spent the next several years raising them while at the same time struggling as a singer at a resort in her native Ontario, Canada.
Shania did not begin to aggressively pursue her music career until four years later, when the younger Twains were off on their own. Before long, she met her producer, who also became her husband, and was living a life quite different from the one she had led in Ontario. ‘That all seems like another lifetime ago,’ she said to Jane Stevenson of the Toronto Sun (February 6, 1996, on-line). ‘But it’s never that far removed that I couldn’t do it again. And there’s a comfort there. I think if you are ever in a desperate situation and you get through it, you have a confidence in life that you would otherwise not have. I realize that no matter what I ever lose, I’ll be able to manage.’
Shania Twain was born Eileen Regina Edwards on August 28, 1965, in Windsor, Ontario, the daughter of Sharon and Clarence Edwards. When she was just two years old, her parents split, and Sharon Edwards moved to Timmins, Ontario, taking both of her young daughters (Eileen and Carrie-Ann) with her. There, Sharon met and married Jerry Twain, an Ojibwa Indian, who eventually adopted Sharon’s two daughters. The young family also included another daughter, Jill, and later, two boys, Mark and Darryl.
Because Jerry Twain was a forester by trade, as a child Eileen learned how to hunt, trap, and operate a chain saw. When she was about 10, her parents bought her a guitar from a pawn shop, and the young musician began writing her own songs. In an interview with Anika Van Wyk of the Calgary Sun (June 4, 1998, on-line), Twain recalled, ‘We were extremely poor when I was a kid and I used to just sing and play guitar in my bedroom as an escape.’ She also told Richard Cromelin of the Los Angeles Times (April 24, 1996) that music helped her get through some difficult times at school. ‘If you don’t have a lunch for school, then you’ve got to make up excuses why.
At that time, if you were to tell the teacher that you don’t bring a lunch because we can’t afford it, maybe they would have had the children’s aid come to our house and we’re gonna get separated… Things like that don’t allow you to just be a kid.… Instead of going out to play during recess, I went to the music room and kind of vented my energy there and kept things positive.’
By the time she was a teenager, Eileen’s parents recognized her talent and arranged for her to sing at the Mattagami hotel in Timmins [in Ontario]. To get around the problem of her youth—because she was underage, she could not legally perform while alcohol was being served—her parents would wake her up at midnight so that she could perform at one in the morning, after last call at the hotel bar. ‘It’s awkward to sing in a bar when everyone’s drunk and smoking, but I had to do it anyway,’ Twain told Nicolas Jennings of Maclean’s (August 28, 1995).
The young singer also performed in various talent contests and on a few local television music shows. From the outset, her parents were ‘obsessed’ with her singing career, she told David Zimmerman of USA Today (June 19, 1995). She added that, although they are no longer living, ‘it’s their drive that got me here.’
Jerry and Sharon were killed when their car crashed into a loaded logging truck in 1987. Eileen Twain was 22 at the time, and she took on the responsibility of raising her three younger siblings, then aged 18, 14, and 13. At one point, things got so tough that the family had to wash their clothes by hand in a nearby river. Eventually, Twain landed a job singing at the upscale Deerhurst Resort, in Huntsville, Ontario. She bought a house in Huntsville and brought her siblings there to live with her. At Deerhurst, Twain took the stage name Shania (pronounced shuh-NI-ah), which means ‘on my way’ in the Ojibwan language.
About four years later, her younger siblings had all finished school and had begun their own independent lives. Although just in her mid-20s, Twain felt ‘like a 45-year-old mom whose kids had gone away to college,’ she told Zimmerman. Twain found that she had much more energy to devote to her career, and with the help of her agent, Mary Baily, she made a demo tape. Baily submitted the tape to several country music record labels, and eventually got a response from Mercury Nashville.
