Career highlights

Music

Alanis Morissette rose from a teenage Canadian pop singer to one of the most influential singer-songwriters of her generation. She began recording demos in the late 1980s before signing with MCA Records Canada. 

Her first two Canada-only albums, Alanis in 1991and Now Is the Time in 1992, showcased her early sound. The debut went Platinum in Canada and produced several charting singles, earning her the 1992 Juno Award for Most Promising Female Vocalist. 

A turning point came after she relocated to Toronto and later Los Angeles, where she partnered with producer and songwriter Glen Ballard. Their collaboration resulted in Jagged Little Pill, released internationally in 1995 through Maverick Records. 

Driven by the breakthrough single “You Oughta Know”, the album became a cultural phenomenon.

Additional hits such as “Ironic”, “Hand in My Pocket”, “You Learn”, and “Head over Feet” helped propel the album to worldwide sales exceeding 33 million copies, making it one of the best-selling albums in music history. 

The album earned multiple Grammy Awards, numerous Juno Awards and a Brit Award. This widespread recognition also opened doors for a new generation of female singer-songwriters.

Following the enormous success of Jagged Little Pill, she released Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie in 1998. It topped at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and set a record at the time for the highest first-week sales by a female artist. 

The album also produced the hit single “Thank U”. During this period, she also scored major acclaim with “Uninvited” from the soundtrack of the film “City of Angels”, earning Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. 

She continued evolving artistically with albums including Under Rug Swept. It took the number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart and featured the hit “Hands Clean”. 

Most notably, she became the sole writer and producer of the album, earning a Juno Award for Producer of the Year.

Later on, she released the compilation album The Collection.

Alanis Morissette’s later career remained active and diverse. She released the albums Flavors of Entanglement and Havoc and Bright Lights.

During this time, she also contributed to The Guardian newspaper as an advice columnist.

Most remarkably, her catalog gained renewed prominence through Jagged Little Pill, a Broadway musical based on her songs that earned fifteen Tony Award nominations and later won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.

In recent years, she released Such Pretty Forks in the Road in 2020 and The Storm Before the Calm in 2022.
