Alanis Nadine Morissette is a Canadian-American singer-songwriter, record producer and occasional actress.
Morissette began her career as a child and recorded two dance-pop albums, “Alanis” and “Now Is the Time,” under MCA Records. Her international debut album, the rock-influenced “Jagged Little Pill,” sold thirty million copies, making it the best-selling debut album of all time by a female artist - though, technically, she had previously released two dance-pop albums in Canada.
Morissette took up producing duties for her subsequent albums including Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, Under Rug Swept, and So-Called Chaos.
