Shania Twain

has com a long way. The Ontario born country superstar was so poor when she was a child, that most of the meat in her school lunches were made from wild game she and her family hunted on a Native reservation. One of the few escapes she had from her poverty was her precocious talent for music; at the age of ten, she was writing, and performing her own songs, in hopes of a better future. At the age of 21, while living on her own, she received the terrible news that both her parents had been killed in a car accident, survived by her brothers, and sister Carrie-Ann. Shania Twain (the Eilleen) returned home to take care of her family in a "Party of Five" type scenario. She then moved, along with her family to Huntsville, Ontario, where she continued to perform at a local resort, until one day, some Nashville agents caught her act, and invited her to cut a demo, which was followed by a record deal with Mercury Nashville. It wasn't until Shania Twain joined forces with husband-to-be, and gifted producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, that she would record "Come on Over"; her breakthrough album which earned her the honors of having the biggest selling Country Album of all time, and winning several Grammy, and Country Music Awards.
