Artwork courtesy of http://www.music-atlas.com | | Biography: | | Morissette's singing career was launched in 1987, when local Ottawa impresario Stephan Klovan showcased the 12-year-old Alanis in a children's musical revue for the city's spring Tulip Festival. Despite her inability to do a cartwheel (which was the audition test), Morissette proved beyond a doubt that she had an impressive set of pipes - after all, she had already succeeded in recording one of her own songs, "Fate Stay With Me," and was performing in a cover band called New York Fries. (She had also developed some name recognition on Nickelodeon's You Can't Do That on Television, a series for pre- pubescents, and had appeared in the role of an aspiring rock star in a minor film, co- starring with future Friends star Matt LeBlanc.) Klovan took an avid interest in the precocious young girl's raw talent, and set about securing other performance opportunities; his efforts yielded gigs singing a pumped-up version of "O Canada!" at major sporting and civic events, as well as an appearance on Star Search. Grooming her in the image of then-popular pop princesses Tiffany and Debbie Gibson, he next shot a glossy video in Paris to promote her to record labels - the result was a contract with MCA Records.
Credited simply as Alanis, Morissette's first album of pop danceables, Alanis, was issued in 1991, and her first single, "Too Hot," was soon edging its way into the Top 10. In Canada, the album went gold, then platinum, and Morissette was nominated for three Juno Awards (Canada's equivalent of the Grammy): Single of the Year, Best Dance Record, and Most Promising Female Vocalist (which she won). Things were looking bright, a fact confirmed when she was engaged as the opening act for rip-off rap star Vanilla Ice. She started work on a follow-up album while still attending high school and juggling a relationship with the much-older actor Dave Coulier (you know, the star of TV's Full House and America's Funniest People). The resulting album, Now Is the Time, marked an attempt by Morissette to angle away from her teen dance-party sound toward a much more serious teen dance-party sound, and it was not quite as well received - fancy that. It was obvious that her genre was on the decline, and she needed to come up with a new artistic vision. At the age of 17 - as most of her high school classmates were trying to decide what jobs to pursue or what colleges to attend - Morissette was entering her first career crisis….
