Shania Twain
Shania Twain’s long, slow road to fame included poverty, many 
disappointments, and a terrible tragedy. But when she finally 
succeeded, she set records that would be the envy of any singer.
*
Life was tough for little Eileen Edwards (Shania Twain’s original name) and her family 
in the northern Ontario town of Timmins. Her mother and stepfather did not work much 
and the family often went hungry. Her mother once drove the children more than 400 
miles to get help from a food bank in Toronto.
Eileen grew up working hard - hunting, chopping wood, and helping her stepfather plant 
trees. But she had a special way of earning some extra money: Eileen could really sing. 
When she was as young as eight years old, she would go into town late at night and sing 
for coins people would throw for her. She began to write her own songs and dream of 
becoming a rock star.
Eileen performed in bands as a teenager, touring all over Ontario and developing her 
talent. Times were still tough; sometimes she could only pay for singing lessons by 
cleaning her vocal coach’s house.
The young singer was hit by one disappointment after another. Twice she went to the 
U.S. to try out for record companies, but came home empty-handed. Little jobs singing 
on other people’s albums never led to a big break. But Eileen kept on trying, again and 
again.
Then, Eileen’s parents were killed in a car accident. There was no one to take care of her 


half-brothers and half-sister. So Eileen moved back in with them, and supported her 
family by singing at a local resort.
She was dirt poor once more, but still would not give up her dreams. When her half-
siblings were grown, Eileen tried yet again. She sent her best songs and music samples to 
more record companies.
Finally, her years of persistence paid off and she was asked to make her first album. 
Eileen created a new stage name for herself: using an Ojibwa word for “on my way”’ and 
her stepfather’s last name, she renamed herself Shania Twain.
Shania Twain went on to make the best-selling album ever by a female singer and the 
top-selling album in country music history. The singer who kept on trying has now sold 
sixty-five million albums around the world.
