Shania Twain's "not just a pretty face." The singer/songwriter revolutionized country music with her drop-dead looks, sultry voice and spirited lyrics. The provocative performer also shattered stereotypes by flaunting her taut midriff instead of her big hair. But Shania's path to mega-stardom was filled with heartaches and hunger. She grew up impoverished in Northern Canada. As a child, she sang at local bars to help put food on the family table. When she was 18 years old, her parents died in a car crash. The teenage songstress took on the responsibility of providing for her younger siblings. At the time, Shania thought her musical career was over. But a family friend connected her with the right people in Nashville—and the rest is history.

After recording four albums, Shania Twain is the top gross female country artist of all time—even outselling country music's beloved Patsy Cline. And she's bravely bridged the gap between country and pop to become one of music's biggest crossover sensations. Exclusive interviews for this BIOGRAPHY include Shania Twain, Elton John, Dolly Parton, singer/songwriter Mark McGrath, Billy Currington and country music historian Bob Oermann.

She took down Patsy, that is one big reason Music Row has a bug about Shania.
