Shania Twain was born as Eilleen Regina Edwards in 1965 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. She started out singing in bars as a child after hours, and, at thirteen, appeared on The Tommy Hunter Show (1965). When she was 22, her parents were killed in an accident, and she became the legal guardian of her half-brothers (Mark, then 13, and Darryl, then 14) and sister, putting her musical career on hold to raise her family. In 1991 she changed her name to Shania (meaning "I'm on my way" in Ojibwa, it was the name of a co-worker), and signed a contract with Mercury Nashville that same year. Shania Twain is the biggest-selling female artist in the history of country music. Beginning with 1995's The Woman In Me, the Canadian singer-songwriter released three straight albums that were certified diamond by the RIAA, forever changing the face of country with her pop crossover appeal.
