The million-CD-selling country-and-western singer-composer grew up in Timmins, Ontario, as Eileen Twain and got her start singing at Ontario’s Deerhurst Inn. She has won many awards for her work, for example, Junos, Country Music Awards, and Grammies. Her first CD The Woman in Me (1995) has sold more than eleven million copies. Her 1997 CD Come On Over was also a smash hit. Her adoptive father, Jerry Twain, is full-blooded Ojibway. Shania was the name of a girl she worked with at the Deerhurst Inn, and, when it came time to confect a show-biz name, she changed it to Shania (pronounced sha-NYE-a) which is Ojibwa for ‘ on my way.’
